Dickens's England was a time of unprecedented energy and change which laid the foundations of our own modern society. There was a new world coming into being: new towns, new machines, new and revolutionary ideas, new songs and dances, musichalls and popular novels, as well as new wealth for the smug middle classes. For others, however, there was poverty, struggle and hard labour. Dickens's characters with whom we are so familiar orphan Oliver and cunning Fagin, snobbish Pip, spendthrift Mr Micawber, pompous Podsnap and humourless Gradgrind grow out of his own observation. Here, Dickens and his.

"Brings Victorian England to life through the writings of its most prominent authors."@en
"Characters that Charles Dickens wrote about grew out of his own observations of the age in which he lived; smug middle classes, poverty, struggle and hard labour, new machines and revolutionary ideas."
"BRITISH & IRISH HISTORY: C 1700 TO C 1900. Dickens' England was an extraordinary world that seems far removed from our everyday society. The characters with which we are so familiar - Oliver, Pip, Scrooge and Mr Micawber were all based on Charles Dickens' own experiences. This book takes us deep within that underworld where the poor fight to survive and also elevates us to the world where the rich dominate and struggle with each other for power. R.E. Pritchard guides the reader through a journey of the different classes, rich and poor, men and women, faith and doubt, entertainment and education, life in the country and in the town. This is the perfect book for anyone wanting to understand more about the world which Dickens and his characters inhabited."
