Description
Charles Dickens' London explores the life and times of one of literature's most beloved authors. Born in 1812 in humble circumstances, Charles Dickens went on to create some of the world's best-known fictional characters through his impressive collection of novels. Dickens' geographical knowledge of London was extensive and encyclopaedic, drawing from his experiences visiting magistrates' courts, observing poverty and injustice in workhouses and prisons, and campaigning for those in need. This unique perspective is reflected in some of his most iconic works, including a beloved Christmas tale that remains widely popular today. This book marks the sesquicentennial anniversary of Dickens' death and offers a fresh look at the place that inspired him during his most prolific writing - London Town.
