Transcribed from the 1912 Gresham Publishing Company edition (_Works of Charles Dickens_, _Volume_ 19) by David Price
"Contributions to All The Year Round" by Charles Dickens is a collection of essays and articles written during the mid-19th century. This compilation includes various observations and reflections concerning social issues, moral philosophies, and literary critiques that Dickens crafted for his weekly journal, "All The Year Round," which he established after the demise of "Household Words." The pieces likely delve into the intricacies of daily life in Victorian England, exploring themes such as temperance, morality, and the human experience. At the start of the collection, Dickens presents an announcement detailing the transition from "Household Words" to "All The Year Round," outlining his goals for the new publication. He aims to combine imagination with the realities of life, appealing to a broader audience. Following this announcement, the opening article, "The Poor Man and His Beer," introduces a narrative about a farm laborer who seeks to harmonize his use of beer with public morals. Through the character of Friar Bacon, a local figure advocating for temperance without patronizing the laborers, Dickens illustrates the compassionate attempts to uplift the working class while retaining their dignity and agency in managing their lives. This sets the tone for the collection as it grapples with societal issues through a blend of humor and earnestness. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
