He is one of the most famous English novelists of the Victorian Era. As a young child, Dickens spent most of his time reading; he was also quite fond of theatricals, puppet plays, and had a natural singing voice. Due to Dickens’ father’s job, the family relocated several times until they settled in Camden Town, a poor neighborhood in London, where Bob Cratchit and his family dwell in A Christmas Carol. At the age of 12, Dickens’ father was sentenced to debtor’s prison, so young Charles left school and went to live with a family friend and work in a shoe-blacking factory. Dickens’ family, excluding his sister Fanny, all lived at the prison. Each Sunday, Charles visited the prison and witnessed the disgusting conditions in which London’s working poor were forced to live.

  • 7 Archaeological Potential and Significance
    Joseph Lancaster Nursery Site, London Borough of Southwark, SE1 4EX: An Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment ©Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd, June 2017 7 ARCHAEOLOGICAL POTENTIAL AND SIGNIFICANCE 7.1 General 7.2 The site is located on the southern edge of the Thames Valley Floodplain of the River Thames Basin. The settlement of Southwark grew up around two gravel eyots – often referred to as the north and south islands – that were separated from the ‘mainland’ to the south by the Borough Channel. It was this series of gravel eyots upon which the bridge crossing to Londinium was constructed and connected to the south by Road 1. South of the Borough Channel and on higher ground the road splintered into Stane Street (running to Chichester) and Watling Street (running to Canterbury and Dover). The study area is located south of this road junction in an area that has become identified as the ‘Southern Cemeteries’ to denote it as separate to those cemeteries around Londinium on the north bank of the Thames. 7.3 Prehistoric 7.3.1 Pottery and worked flints found in north Southwark indicate that the area was frequented in the Mesolithic and later settled from the late Neolithic to early Bronze Age period onwards. What had been an intertidal zone would have varied in character depending on the periodic rising and falling of sea level due to climatic fluctuations (Killock 2010:12). However, the nature of that settlement is still poorly understood and most of the finds recorded on the HER from these periods are residual - suggesting a background presence of dispersed activity across north Southwark with the Mesolithic activity focussed closer to the Thames and the gravel eyots.

  • Prisons and Punishments in Late Medieval London
    Prisons and Punishments in Late Medieval London Christine Winter Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of London Royal Holloway, University of London, 2012 2 Declaration I, Christine Winter, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 3 Abstract In the history of crime and punishment the prisons of medieval London have generally been overlooked. This may have been because none of the prison records have survived for this period, yet there is enough information in civic and royal documents, and through archaeological evidence, to allow a reassessment of London’s prisons in the later middle ages. This thesis begins with an analysis of the purpose of imprisonment, which was not merely custodial and was undoubtedly punitive in the medieval period. Having established that incarceration was employed for a variety of purposes the physicality of prison buildings and the conditions in which prisoners were kept are considered. This research suggests that the periodic complaints that London’s medieval prisons, particularly Newgate, were ‘foul’ with ‘noxious air’ were the result of external, rather than internal, factors. Using both civic and royal sources the management of prisons and the abuses inflicted by some keepers have been analysed. This has revealed that there were very few differences in the way civic and royal prisons were administered; however, there were distinct advantages to being either the keeper or a prisoner of the Fleet prison. Because incarceration was not the only penalty available in the enforcement of law and order, this thesis also considers the offences that constituted a misdemeanour and the various punishments employed by the authorities.

  • Jacob Marley Was Dead
    Jacob marley was dead Continue I personally love the Book of Christmas Song and I read it every December. It's not a long book, which is probably why it's a favorite classic of an overworked high school student, and this librarian with a read list a mile long. I'm also a big fan of Christmas, and Christmas special, and books about Christmas. I admit that I've never been a big fan of Dickens's more works. In high school we read Great Expectations and I remember very little, except that it was particularly hard to follow, which kind of turned me away from everything he had written for a while. But a few years ago I decided to give a Christmas carol a chance and it became one of my favorite books. The language That Dickens used is unlike anything we use in everyday communication in 2014. Never has Tiny Tim ever lol, and none of the ghosts will ever smh Scrooge and his ignorance. Honestly, I can see how difficult it can be for some to sit down and read page after page of the lengthy descriptions Of the Dickens used-after-all, we want to get to the meat of ghost stories and a grumpy old man learning to appreciate kindness and friendship for money, but when we don't have the time to read what Dickens has written he draws some amazing images in our heads. Take the opening lines: Marley was dead: for starters. As for the first lines in the book to go, that one is damn good.

  • The Man Who Invented Christmas Film Adaptations of Dickens’ a Christmas Carol Dr Christine Corton
    10TH DECEMBER 2019 The Man Who Invented Christmas Film Adaptations of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol Dr Christine Corton A Christmas Carol is now over 175 years old. Written in 1843, it is certainly the most televised of Dickens’s works and equals if not beats, its closest rival, Oliver Twist (1837-39) for cinema releases. It’s had a huge influence on the way we understand the Christmas festival. It was written at a time when the festival was being revived after centuries of neglect. And its impact was almost immediate. A Christmas Carol quickly achieved iconic status, far more so than any of Dickens’s other Christmas stories. You have to have been living on some far-off planet not to have heard of the story – the word ‘Scrooge’ has come to represent miserliness and ‘Bah, Humbug’ is a phrase often resorted to when indicating someone is a curmudgeon. Even, Field Marshall Montgomery concluded his Christmas Eve message to the Eighth Army on the battlefield with Tiny Tim’s blessing. In 1836 Dickens described Christmas at Dingley Dell in The Pickwick Papers in which of course one of the most famous of the interpolated tales appears, The Story of the Goblins who Stole a Sexton and for those who know the tale, the miserable and mean Gabriel Grub is not a million miles away from Scrooge. Both Mr Pickwick’s Christmas at Wardle’s (1901) and Gabriel Grub: The Surly Sexton (1904) were used as the basis for silent films at around the same time as the first silent version of the 11 minute long: Scrooge: Or Marley’s Ghost which was released in 1901.

  • Charles Dickens' a Christmas Carol

Dickens' sources for the tale appear to be many and A Christmas Carol is a novella by English varied, but his major inspirations include the author Charles Dickens (Feb. 7, 1812-June 9, 1870), humiliating experiences of his childhood, his first published on 19 December 1843. It met with sympathy for the poor, and various Christmas instant success and critical acclaim. stories and fairy tales. Dickens wrote in the wake of British government changes to the welfare system known as the Poor Laws, changes that required, among other things, welfare applicants to work on treadmills (engines or pumps powered by humans walking in a wheel rather than machinery). He wanted people to consider the plight of those whom the Industrial Revolution had driven into poverty, and the obligation of society to provide for them humanely. Failure to do so, Dickens implies through the personification of Ignorance and Want as Charles Dickens in 1842 horrendous children, will result in an unnamed "Doom" for those who, like Scrooge, believe their Dickens was deeply touched by the hard lives of wealth and status qualifies them to sit in judgment poor children in the middle decades of the 19th of the poor rather than to assist them.
