Following on from our successful A Tale of Two Cities reading and blogging project last year, join us to read Wilkie Collins's No Name week-by-week, as the novel's first readers did, in Dickens's journal All the Year Round. We'll follow this sensational tale of illegitimacy, deception, disguise and revenge through its regular short weekly instalments for 45 weeks. We start on Friday 15 March 2013 (to coincide with the 1862 publication date) and we'll read our final instalment on the week of 17 January 2014. Participants can read the instalments in their magazine form via Dickens Journals Online and we'll share our responses in an online reading group/blog.

Dickens Journals Online is a free, open-access resource. The project is based at the University of Buckingham, which provides facilities and moral support, for which we are extremely grateful. We have enjoyed grants from numerous organisations, in particular the Leverhulme Trust (2009-12). However, we now almost entirely rely on gifts from members of the public to cover even the most basic costs of maintaining and developing the site. 

Please support our website development and maintenance, as well as new educational and research projects. Donations are currently handled on our behalf by the University of Buckingham Foundation (a registered charity) and processed by the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF), allowing tax relief, via Gift Aid, on donations from UK taxpayers. Every penny donated this way will be received by DJO. 

Any gift, small or large, will be hugely appreciated, and converted into improving this resource as efficiently as we can – THANK YOU! (The DJO Team).
