Printing and Literature in Dickinson times.

Answer 1

Dickens first stories were published in "The Monthly Magazine" and using the pen name of "Boz" he also had stories published in the Morning and Evening Chronicles.  These became popular and were published as a book "Sketches by Boz" in 1836.

The publisher William Hall then commissioned Dickens to write "The Pickwick Papers" in twenty monthly episodes followed by "Oliver Twist" in 1837/8 Nicholas Nickleby in 1838/9 published monthly and the books "The Old Curiosity Shop" (1840/1), "Barnaby Rudge" (1841), "Martin Chuzzlewit" (1843/4) and "A Christmas Carol" (1843).  

Answer 2

printing press how else!

Answer 3

...most of Dickens's major novels were first written in monthly or weekly instalments in journals such as Master Humphrey's Clock and Household Words, later reprinted in book form. These instalments made the stories cheap, accessible and the series of regular cliff-hangers made each new episode widely anticipated.
