Inside Dickens' London by Michael Paterson
A fascinating, evocative account of 19th-century London, so well known from Charles Dickens' much-loved novels. This book draws on descriptions of life in the capital from original letters, diaries and newspapers as well as Dickens' own social commentary to paint a vivid portrait of a city undergoing massive social changes. A unique gazetteer section with a modern-day map allows the reader to discover where places and attractions mentioned in the text can be seen in today's London.
Michael Paterson regularly conducts guided tours of Dickens' London. He has a private collection of Dickensian photographs, illustrations and papers, and is a leading expert on the subject. He is the author of Battle for the Skies and Winston Churchill: His Military Life 1845-1945, both for D&C. He lives in London.
