From the start of his literary career, Dickens wished to be an editor. and began such early-on with Bentley's Miscellany. After two more somewhat unsuccessful efforts, he succeeded with Household Words which, due to personal differences with his publishers, gave rise to this final editorial publication, All The Year Round. The content was miscellaneous in nature, and attracted some of the best writers of the day- Wilkie Collins (The Moonstone & The Woman in White), Mrs. Gaskell (A Dark Night's Work), Trollope (Is He Popenjoy?).. not to mention Dickens himself- the periodical contains the first appearance of his two great works- A Tale of Two Cities and Great Expectations.
