The British Academy/The Pilgrim Edition of the Letters of Charles Dickens: Volume 12: 1868-1870 (Hardcover, Pilgrim ed)

This concluding volume covers the final two and a half years of Dickens's life: his reading tours in America and around England, the writing of Edwin Drood (left unfinished on his sudden death), and his characteristic involvement in scores of different interests and in writing to literally hundreds of correspondents. Also included are a large gathering of letters and items of new information which came to light too late for earlier volumes, an index to the present volume, and a cumulative Index of Correspondents.
