Mabel's Progress is an 1867 sensation novel by the British author Frances Eleanor Trollope. It was originally serialised in the magazine All the Year Round, edited by Charles Dickens.[1] It was then published as a book in a three volumes by Chapman & Hall. It was her second novel, building on the success of her debut Aunt Margaret's Trouble. She received 500 guineas from Dickens for the rights to the novel, possibly a particularly generous sum as he wanted to encourage her silence regarding his relationship with her sister Nelly Ternan.[2] When it subsequently appeared in the American magazine Harper's Magazine it was incorrectly described to by Dickens own daughter.[3]
