“If you want to know what it was like to walk the streets of London in the early 1830s, nothing will tell you more vividly than Michael Slater’s [book]. The journalistic pieces in it were written while Dickens was still young and unknown. But they prefigure the obsessions of his fiction—poverty, crime, physical deformity, the pitiless follies of officialdom—and so illustrate the immense debt that 19th-century fiction owed to journalism. . . . Slater’s is the first ever annotated edition of Dickens’ Journalism, and his clarification of the slang and topical references adds greatly to enlightenment and pleasures.” —The Sunday Times
