Charles Dickens spent most of his adult life in London whilst
residing in locations which extended to every boundary of the
Metropolis. Like Dickens, the author is passionate about London and
in doing so has explored architectural and historical links
together with sights and scenes, which the accomplished Victorian
writer would have encountered in his quest to record the social
depravation of London. With these thoughts in mind this book
endeavors to track the many walks Dickens would have made, using an
1863 street map, in his quest to capture a library of characters
for his literary works. In each of the ten walks the author has
envisaged Dickens being an imaginary walking companion and
hypothesized his comments regarding change. How would he react to a
changing society which has evolved over the past 150 years and what
opinions and arguments would this great Victorian novelist have
when comparing his own creative era with that of the 21st century?
To highlight certain places of interest on each walk, the author
has included his own pen and ink illustrated sketches to provide a
topographical and artistic account of each district in a manner
that he feels Dickens would have approved of.
