Description

The Turning Point: A Year that Changed Dickens and the World In 1851, Britain was at a crossroads. Industrial innovation and artistic expression were transforming the nation, while poverty, disease, and social unrest threatened to upend the status quo. For Charles Dickens, this year would be a turning point in his life and career. As he navigated personal turmoil - including double bereavement and marital strain - Dickens began to find his voice as a chronicler of ordinary people's lives. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the twists and turns of that pivotal year, transporting readers into the foggy streets of Victorian London. With sparkling insight and engaging storytelling, Robert Douglas-Fairhurst brings this remarkable period in history to life, shedding new light on Dickens's most formative year.
