George Dodd (19th-century writer)

George Dodd (18 September 1808 – 21 January 1881) was an English journalist and writer.

[1] Dodd contributed to Knight's serial publications: the Penny Magazine, London, The Land we live in, and others.

[1] Another periodical to which Dodd contributed was Household Words, run by Charles Dickens.

Dickens found Dodd useful, but at times close to a hack writer.

[1] Some of Dodd's articles were collected and published in volumes, under the titles of Days at the Factories (1843) and Curiosities of Industry (1852).
