Summary:

"Dickens' London" by Francis Miltoun is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores the rich historical, topographical, and literary context of London as it relates to Charles Dickens and his works. The book is aimed at lovers of Dickens and those interested in the historical and cultural significance of London during the Victorian era-highlighting how the city's landscape influenced Dickens' narratives and characters. The opening of "Dickens' London" introduces the intent of the author to provide readers with a snapshot of the London that Dickens knew, contrasting it with the rapidly changing cityscape of his time. Miltoun discusses the key localities linked to the life of Dickens, from his early experiences with poverty in the streets to the evolution of the literary scene in 19th-century London. The narrative begins with an acknowledgement of the rich literary tradition that Dickens inherited and contributed to, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of the places, customs, and characters that defined both Dickens' life and writings.
