Various Authors: No Thoroughfare. v1, 12 Jun 2015
Charles Dicken's journals Household Words and All the Year Round had Extra Christmas Numbers each year, and several of these contained stories co-authored by Dickens and staff writers who shared his social activism.
A list of the collaborations between Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins is available on the Victorian Web site, and the text of the journals is available on the Dickens Journals Online site. No Thoroughfare was the All the Year Round Extra Christmas Number for 1867, and was co-authored by Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins. The story was also presented as a play by Wilkie Collins and Charles Dickens the same year. This was the last of the Extra Christmas Numbers, and is a melodramatic account of the adventures of two foundlings given the same name at birth, culminating in a wedding in a Swiss Alpine village. The source material was plain text files on the Dickens Journals Online site, checked against the images of the original journal pages. I have set off letters and documents as blockquotes, made changes to spelling and hyphenation using oxforddictionaries.com, and have given a footnote to explain an archaic term.
