Requests:  0 Summary:  "Expert Victorian-era historian Judith Flanders explores the world portrayed so vividly in Dicken's novels, bringing life on the streets of London to vivid, fascinating life. The nineteenth century was a time of unprecedented transformation, and nowhere was this more apparent than London. In only a few decades, the capitol grew from a Regency town to the biggest city the world had ever seen, with more than 6.5 million people and railways, street-lighting and new buildings at every turn. From the moment Charles Dickens, the century's best-loved novelist and London's greatest observer, arrived in the city in 1822, he obsessively walked its streets, recording its pleasures, curiosities and cruelties. Now, with him, Judith Flanders leads us through the markets, transport systems, sewers, rivers, slums, alleys, cemeteries, gin palaces, chop-houses and entertainment emporia of Dickens' London, to reveal the Victorian capital in all its variety, vibrancy, and squalor. From the colorful cries of street-sellers to the uncomfortable reality of travel by omnibus, to the many uses for the body parts of dead horses or the unimaginably grueling working days of hawker children, no detail is too small, or too strange. No one who reads Judith Flanders's meticulously researched, captivatingly written The Victorian City will view London in the same light again"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aiea Public Library Adult Nonfiction 942.108 Fl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 942.108 Fl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library LLH Closed Stacks 942.108 Fl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 942.108 Fl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Nonfiction 942.108 Fl Checked In Add Copy to MyList
