A near-photographic memory made his contact with the city indelible from a very young age and it remained his constant focus. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVirginia Woolf maintained that, 'we remodel our psychological geography when we read Dickens,' as he produces 'characters who exist not in detail, not accurately or exactly, but abundantly in a cluster of wild yet extraordinarily revealing remarks.'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut the 'character' he was drawn back to throughout his novels was London itself, all aspects of the capital from the coaching inns of his early years to the taverns and watermen of the Thames; these were the constant cityscapes of his life and work.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBased on five walks in central London, Peter Clark illuminates the settings of Dickens's London, his life, his journalism and his fiction. He also explores 'The First Suburbs' (Camden Town, Chelsea, Greenwich, Hampstead, Highgate and Limehouse) as they feature in Dickens's writing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winstones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35021425410201,"sku":"9781909961678","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/products\/9781909961678.jpg?v=1602540585","url":"https:\/\/winstonebooks.pro\/products\/9781909961678","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
