Technology - railways street - lighting and sewers - transformed both the city and the experience of city - living. From the moment Charles Dickens the century's best - loved novelist and London's greatest observer arrived in the city in 1822, he obsessively walked its streets recording its pleasures curiosities and cruelties. Now with him Judith Flanders leads us through the markets transport systems rivers slums alleys cemeteries gin palaces chop - houses and entertainment emporia of Dickens London to reveal the Victorian capital in all its variety vibrancy and squalor. From the colorful cries of street - sellers to the uncomfortable reality of travel by omnibus to the many uses for the body parts of dead horses and the unimaginably grueling working days of hawker children no detail is too small or too strange. No one who reads Judith Flanders's meticulously researched captivatingly written The Victorian City will ever view London in the same light again.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: The Victorian City Everyday Life In Dickens London\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Flanders Judith\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: St. Martin's Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781250068262\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 560 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 7\/14\/2015\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Flanders Judith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49614126973233,"sku":"IN-G-9781250068262","price":29.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781250068262.jpg?v=1724614581","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781250068262-the-victorian-city-everyday-life-in-dickens-london","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
