The stories began their publication in January 1840; ""Guy Fawkes"" was published in instalments in ""Bentley's Miscellany"" until November 1840. Ainsworth serialised the story again in his own magazine, ""Ainsworth's Magazine"", in 1849–50. As well as the two serialisations, the story has been published as a novel on seven occasions.
