Dickens and the Moving Age (lecture)
Free public lecture from Gresham College. Available as video, audio and transcript.
Overview:
The age in which Dickens lived saw enormous changes in travel and transport: his writing reflects their impact on people’s lives. He was a great traveller, visiting the United States twice and Europe regularly. His writing, both in fiction and journalism, constantly takes its ‘impress from the moving age’.
