Letters

Editing and publication of Dicken’s letters started in 1949 when publisher Rupert Hart-Davis persuaded Humphry House of Wadham College, Oxford University to edit a complete edition of the letters. House died suddenly aged 46 in 1955. However the work continued, and by 1997 Volume 9 had been published.^[2]
