Books by Judith Flanders (Author of The Invention of Murder) Books by Judith Flanders Judith Flanders Average rating 3.68 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 and the unimaginably grueling working days of hawker children, no detail is too small, or too strange. Expert Victorian-era historian Judith Flanders explores the world portrayed so vividly in Dickens novels, bringing life on the streets of London to vivid. Now, with him, Judith Flanders leads us through the markets, transport systems, 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. Technology-railways, street-lighting, and sewers-transformed both the city and the experience of city-living.įrom 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. The nineteenth century was a time of unprecedented change, and nowhere was this more apparent than London, which, in only a few decades, grew from a compact Regency town into the largest city the world had ever seen. ![]()
