Paper Summary:
This paper looks at Dickens' relationship with the city and the unique way in which he writes about it. It discusses his 'attraction of repulsion' to the city and it's poverty, crime and pollution, as well as the excitement and opportunity and its sheer size and density represented for Dickens. It examines four of Dickens' major novels - "Oliver Twist", "Bleak House", "Little Dorrit" and "David Copperfield".From the Paper:
"As Wordsworth would wander the hills, lakes and woodlands of his home searching for inspiration, Dickens traversed his home, the city, endlessly, and in it he found what made his imagination tick. For him, romance was to be found not in the trees, the flora and other objects of natural beauty, but in the city streets; the hustle and bustle, the mixture of people from every place, the confusion and excitement, even the dirt, the disease, the crime and the poverty; all of it freed his imagination and filled it with theatrical characters and scenes."More papers on Charles Dickens:
