| See London through Dickens’ eyes. Dickens' London is a unique interpretation of the spirit of Victorian London in the company of the master medium of the Age, as the world celebrates the 200th anniversary of his birth. London was on the threshold of enormous expansion and change: it was the coming of the Great Age. But to the boy Dickens, forcibly separated from his family, it was a terrifying place. Alone he’d walk the slumridden, shabby, depressed and dirty streets, stand and stare at busy street corners, peep down dark, dismal courts, and feed his insatiable curiosity with ‘wild visions’ that were in monstrous empathy with his deep sense of despair.Two centuries later, the sights and sounds of that city, its colour and suffering, reach out to us through his writings and some of the earliest surviving pictures of his day. |
