The Charles Dickens' serial Barnaby Rudge begins publication in the magazine Master Humphrey's Clock in London, England, UK. The story includes a character called Dolly Varden who will inspire a style of fashionable ladies' dress from about 1869 to 1875 in Britain and the United States. The fashion style will, in its turn inspire at least two popular songs Dressed In A Dolly Varden by G.W. Moore and Dolly Varden (1872) by Alfred Lee. She will also inspire The Dolly Varden Polka, an entertainment presented at The Theatre Royal in London, during the 1870s, plus The Dolly Varden Quadrille, a dance. In 1993, a rock band in Chicago, Illinois, USA, will adopt the name Dolly Varden.
