Charles Dickens' London - Part 1 - Life
Charles Dickens translated the vigor of nineteenth century London into his works of fiction, a vigor that created and destroyed vast fortunes, and spawned a thronging underclass of the uneducated and malnourished, which was more often browbeaten and humiliated than aggressive and dangerous.
Our journey takes us through areas which were no go in Dicken's time, and down Kingsway, the thoroughfare that swept away a multitude of back streets and in so doing created a demarcation line between the law courts and the world of theatre. Both these areas were to attract the assiduous attention of the writer. We pass by Bloomsbury, the area that was to be rebuilt riots portrayed in Barnaby Rudge.
