This book explores the aesthetic practices used by Dickens to make
the space which we have come to know as the Dickensian City. It
concentrates on three very precise techniques for the production of
social space (counter-mapping, overlaying and troping). The
chapters show the scapes and writings which influenced him and the
way he transformed them, packaged them and passed them on for
future use. The city is shown to be an imagined or virtual world
but with a serious aim for a serious game: Dickens sets up a
workshop for the simulation of real societies and cities. This
urban building with is transferable to other literatures and medial
forms. The book offers vital understanding of how writing and image
work in particular ways to recreate and re-enchant society and the
built environment. It will be of interest to scholars of
literature, media, film, urban studies, politics and economics.
