商品描述
CHARLES DICKENS'S ENGLAND highlights for the very first time in the 272 page book 630 photographs of the most important places, towns and cities that were the inspiration to some of the most famous settings in literature. The book features Cooling Church in Kent, used by the author in the opening chapter of Great Expectations; Miss Havisham's house in Rochester; the almost forgotten London Roman Baths used by David Copperfield; Joe Gargey's cottage in Chalk, the notorious Bowes Academy, the harshest of the Yorkshire schools and now known to the world as Dotheboys Hall. From Portsmouth to Isle of Wight, to numerous London locations, to Bury St Edmunds, from Rochester and Chatham to Broadstairs, to Folkestone, to Barnard Castle, to Bath, to Canterbury, to St George's Hall in Liverpool, well over 100 locations are featured. Many of the locations, such as 58 Lincoln's Inn Fields where Dickens first read in public, the All The Year Round offices in Covent Garden where he lived and worked and Gad's Hill in Kent, the last in a very long list of his homes, are not open to the public and their interiors have rarely been photographed.
Forward by Derek Jacobi who presents the Sky Arts TV series of the same name. This book would most appeal to Dickens fans and and Anglophiles. People who are familiar with many of Dickens' stories will find that the photos bring alive the places that are featured in his novels. The text does a great job of explaining the connections between places in England to Dickens' characters, and Dickens' own life.
