The extent of Dickens’s written output is legendary. In his relatively short lifetime he completed fourteen and a half novels, as well as an impressive array of short fiction, travel books, plays, poems, and major and minor works of prose. The complete extent of his published works may never be known, partly on account of the convention of anonymity that dominated early and mid-Victorian publication – especially journalism (see Drew 117–8, 151, 183). The most recent attempt to produce a “Complete listing of Dickens’s known journalism” was undertaken by Michael Slater and John Drew, in the final volume of their Dent Uniform Edition of Dickens’ Journalism (Slater and Drew 436–46). Yet this inventory, featuring 370 items, is only as reliable as the supporting evidence, which comes from a variety of sources, including Dickens’s correspondence, the discovery of manuscripts, and the Office Book for his journal Household Words (Collins, “Dickens on Ghosts”; Brice; and Lohrli). It is rare nowadays for a new piece of journalism by Dickens to be authenticated; yet such breakthroughs are possible, given the right circumstances and effective modes of investigation. In the spring and summer of 2015 a set of fortuitous events culminated in a public announcement that the “Rosetta Stone of Victorian Studies” had been found (Dugan). In May of that year a group of academics met a scholar and antiquarian book dealer named Jeremy Parrott, to authenticate a series of carefully inscribed annotations in a recently purchased, handsomely bound set of the first series of All the Year Round (Fig. 1), the journal that Dickens edited from 1859 until his death in 1870. The scholars came away convinced that the marginalia, which identified by name the authors of each of the individual pieces, were genuine. These findings were confirmed by Leon Litvack, who observed in an interview with the Independent newspaper that

查尔斯·狄更斯 (Charles Dickens) 和约瑟夫·帕金森 (Joseph Parkinson)：全年理清复合作者身份

狄更斯的书面作品的范围是传奇的。在他相对较短的一生中，他完成了十四部半的小说，以及一系列令人印象深刻的短篇小说、游记、戏剧、诗歌以及主要和次要的散文作品。他发表的作品的完整程度可能永远不会为人所知，部分原因是在维多利亚时代早期和中期的出版物中占主导地位的匿名惯例——尤其是新闻业（见 Drew 117-8, 151, 183）。迈克尔·斯莱特 (Michael Slater) 和约翰·德鲁 (John Drew) 在他们的狄更斯新闻学 (Slater and Drew 436–46) 的最后一卷中进行了制作“狄更斯已知新闻业的完整列表”的最新尝试。然而，这份包含 370 件物品的清单仅与支持证据一样可靠，这些证据来自各种来源，包括狄更斯的信件，手稿的发现，以及他的期刊 Household Words 的 Office Book（柯林斯，“Dickens on Ghosts”；Brice；和 Lohrli）。如今，狄更斯的新新闻作品获得认证的情况很少见。然而，鉴于适当的情况和有效的调查模式，这种突破是可能的。2015 年春夏，一系列偶然事件最终以公开宣布发现了“维多利亚研究的罗塞塔石碑”（杜根）而告终。那年 5 月，一群学者会见了一位名叫杰里米·帕罗特 (Jeremy Parrott) 的学者和古籍经销商，他们在最近购买的《全年》第一辑（图 1）中鉴定了一系列精心刻制的注释，狄更斯从 1859 年编辑到 1870 年去世的期刊。学者们在离开时确信，以姓名标识每件作品的作者的边缘是真实的。这些发现得到了 Leon Litvack 的证实，他在接受《独立报》采访时观察到
