Few novelists have written so intimately about a city as Charles Dickens has about London. A near-photographic memory made his contact with the city indelible from a very young age, and it remained his constant focus. From the coaching inns of his early youth to the taverns and watermen of the Thames, London provided a constant cityscape for his life and work.
Peter Clark illuminates scenes from Dickens’s life, journalism and fiction both through a series of inner city walks and descriptions of London’s first ‘suburbs.’
PETER CLARK is a writer, translator, and consultant who was Director of the British Council in Syria (1992–1997). He has written books on Marmaduke Pickthall and Wilfred Thesiger, and has translated fiction and non-fiction from Arabic.
