- Serialisation of Martin Chuzzlewit
Martin Chuzzlewit began serialisation in January 1843, issued in monthly instalments, with the run continuing until July 1844.
The novel was originally serialised between January 1843 and July 1844, following the pattern of nearly all of Dickens's novels in appearing in monthly instalments. While writing it, Dickens told a friend he considered it his best work thus far, yet it ranked among his least popular novels by the sales of its monthly parts. Chapman & Hall were Dickens's publishers from 1840 until 1844, a relationship spanning the serialisation.
