We also hope that students from many disciplines will recognise the value of English literature to their understanding of the social world, and Dickens is a powerful source of ideas and information about the industrial and early post-industrial world in which he wrote, through both his novels and his journalism. As you will see from the following abstracts and papers, Dickens and his time are fascinating to students of tourism history. He helps us to understand the period between the Grand Tour and early mass tourism to the seaside, reflecting the middle class’s interest in travel for both business and leisure. The importance of literary tourism as an area for research as well as a source of enjoyment is growing, and we hope that this conference will stimulate research in and beyond the period we chose to concentrate on. We hope that the contributors will continue to maintain an informal network and that all readers of these proceedings will find them enjoyable and useful. With best wishes Anita Fernandez Young The Christel DeHaan Tourism and Travel Research Institute The University Of Nottingham UK 3 Visiting Fictional London: The Demand for authenticity Anita Fernandez Young Christel DeHaan Tourism and Travel Institute Nottingham University Business School, UK [email protected] ABSTRACT A tourist inspired to visit London by the work of Charles Dickens may contemplate up to three different London’s: 21st Century London, which is the physical reality of what she can visit; Victorian London, which remains only to some extent; and the fictional London of Dickens’s imagination as it appears in his writing. There is some overlap between all three of these, in that some of the places which appear in the fiction existed and do so still. Thinking in this framework implies first a distinction among literary tourists between those who seek to visit the London that is in the fiction (‘imaginary’ London) and those looking for the London in which the author lived (‘Victorian’ London) – or both. Secondly we have to confront the paradox that the only one of the three London’s in which the tourist can physically be present is neither of the foregoing, but 21st century London. Thirdly, we examine the conditions under which literary tourists visiting 21st century London can, through this, visit a sufficiently authentic version of the London they seek. Authenticity is examined with reference to what is demanded by tourists and the ability of London to satisfy them. VISITING FICTIONAL LONDON: The demand for authenticity Arthur Conan Doyle set his Sherlock Holmes stories in a place modelled on his contemporary London of the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Conan Doyle’s ‘London’ was very much like 19th century London, but it differed in certain ways, the most significant of which is perhaps that he had Holmes and Watson live, and many dramatic scenes take place, at a notorious address, 221b Baker Street, which did not exist. Consider a person who reads the Holmes stories and then visits London. Either the reading of the stories was a cause of the visit or it was not. Our primary (but not exclusive) interest is in cases in which the reading was a cause of the visit. Assuming this to be the case, we have to ask what it was in the reading that caused the visit. 4 In relation to this question, there are two constructions of causing. The first is causality: the tourist read the Holmes stories and this increased the probability of her visiting London. To some extent, the visit occurred because of the reading. The second construction and, for our purposes, the more fruitful one is teleological: the visit was made so that … In other words, the tourist made the visit to London for some purpose and that purpose arose out of the reading. Many things may have arisen out of the reading of the Holmes stories. A notable example is an interest in Holmes’ deductive (or inferential, or dramatic) method. This is, perhaps, the sine qua non of a Holmes story. It is central to what Conan Doyle evidently conceived of the stories as being about. There are instances in which Watson tries his hand at it. There are stories set outside London, including some (such as The Hound of the Baskervilles) in which an extra-London setting is integral. The Holmesian method is an essential feature of the stories, but it is hardly a plausible cause of a want to visit London. Many of the stories are set in London and the characters reside there throughout (although not always together). This London is one of genteel rooms in Baker Street, gas lamps, beggars and urchins, concerts at the Wigmore Hall, banks in the City, the river and an opium den. Presumably it is something in all this that inspires the reader to want to visit London. However, this prompts two questions. The first of these is which London we are talking about, because we have three Londons here. First, there is the London a 21st century tourist can visit. Secondly, there is Victorian London. Thirdly, there is the London in which Holmes lived: the London of Conan Doyle’s imagination. For ease of reference, let us abbreviate these to L21, L19 and LCD. None of these three Londons is unrelated to the other two, but no two are identical. L21 and L19 have much in common because much of London was built in or before the 19th century. On the other hand, there is a lot of modern London built after the 19th century and a lot of the London in which Conan Doyle lived has gone. LCD and L19 have much in common. LCD’s Baker Street, riverside and the City are all very similar to their counterparts in L19. But there was no 221b Baker Street. There were real as well as fictional beggars and urchins, but there was no real Holmes. 5 There is some point in representing this diagrammatically, as follows. The sets represented in the following diagram are sets of artefacts in the wide sense of the term. L21 L19 LCD L21 and L19 have a substantial (but by no means perfect) overlap. LCD and L19 have a major intersection. Because of this, L21 and LCD have an intersection. For this to be so, it is sufficient (but not necessary) that each of L21L19 and LCDL19 have an overlap exceeding 50%. But if this condition does not apply, the result of an intersection of L21 and LCD does not necessarily come about. For example, we might have had L21 L19 LCD This is the situation that might have been if London had changed even more from Victorian days and if Conan Doyle’s fictional London had been much more loosely based on the real London of his time. Like his brother Mycroft, Sherlock Holmes might never have strayed outside of Pall Mall and Pall Mall and the surrounding territory might have been destroyed in 1945 and replaced by an enormous Ferris wheel. 6 Reading the Sherlock Holmes stories may well, in some readers, instil a want to visit LCD, to be in the London in which our good acquaintance, and perhaps friend, Holmes rules OK.

  • David Copperfield by Charles Dickens
    Ch apter 1 In reading my story, you’ll decide whether I’m the hero of my own life or someone else is. I was born at Blunderstone in Suffolk. My father, David, had died six months before, at the age of thirty-nine. His aunt, Betsey Trotwood, was the head of the family. Aunt Betsey had been married to a younger man who had been very handsome and was said to have abused her. They had separated. Aunt Betsey had taken back her birth name, bought a seaside house in Dover, established herself there as a single woman with one servant, and lived in near-seclusion. It was believed that her husband had gone to India and died there ten years later. My father had been a favorite of Aunt Betsey until his marriage, which had deeply offended her. She never had met my mother, Clara. However, because my mother had been only nineteen when she married my father, then thirty- eight, Aunt Betsey had taken offense and referred to my mother as a “wax doll.” My father and Aunt Betsey had never seen each other again. The day before I was born was a bright, windy March day. My mother was in poor health and in low spirits. Dressed in mourning because of my father’s 1 2 CHARLES DICKENS recent death, she sat in the parlor by the fi re shortly before sunset. When she lifted her sad eyes to the window opposite her, she saw an unfamiliar lady coming up the walk. The lady was Aunt Betsey.

  • Charles Dickens 1812-1870
    THE LIFE OF OUR LORD written especially for his children by CHARLES DICKENS 1812-1870 FOREWORD TO THE 1996 EDITION By Christopher Charles Dickens “CHARLES DICKENS wrote this delightful little book in 1849 for his most private and personal readership - his own children. With no eye on publicity or pandering to any faction of his vast following, we can see here his own thoughts on the Christian Religion distilled, not only for the benefit of young readers but almost, one feels, to repeat to himself his belief in the Good News of God, and tell again the Gospel story in a pleasantly simple yet direct and accurate way. This brings a message of its own which should be important to all families of the world. Today I want to add to it a deeper understanding of who Jesus Christ was and still remains. He is, for most of us, God-made-man for our salvation, born of the Virgin Mary, and with Joseph as his chosen earthly foster father. We should strive to understand even more fully the Salvation Jesus achieved for us and how it happened and continues to happen in the Holy Eucharist, and in the life of Christ’s Church throughout the world. Though Charles Dickens had refused publication of this book during his own lifetime or that of his children, one of his sons, my great-grandfather Sir Henry Fielding Dickens set down in his Will that at his death the book might be released with the full consent of the family. This was granted and the work was published in 1934.

  • Dickens Oliver Twist As a Way to Reformation and As a Tool to Remove Social Wrong Depicting Urban England
    Notions Vol. 7 No2. 2016 ISSN: (P) 0976-5247, (e) 2395-7239 Dickens Oliver Twist as a Way to Reformation and as a Tool to Remove Social Wrong Depicting Urban England Suman Mishra* Lecturer Department of Applied Science and Humanities Subharti Institute of Engineering and Technology Swami Vivekananda Subharti University Meerut. Charles Dickens (7 February 1812 – a June 1870) was an English writer born in Portsmouth England and was a social critic, Dickens father John Dickens was a clerk in the navy pay office. He had little formal education but his life taught him the formal education of facts this impoverishment led him to a successful literary person. From the very beginning his life was not easy and he suffered a lot. He was a man of various talents. He was a social reformer and very soon he became international literary celebrity and a keen observer of the society. His novels became the dominant Victorian mode for novel publication and outlook of social injustice. Dickens last days were spends at God‟s Hill at his beloved home. It was an estate he‟d appreciated from the very beginning of his childhood. No writer since Shakespeare has occupied as important place as Dickens. No doubt, Dickens talked about social abuse in a very „realistic‟ way but also talked about the social greed in society. He mirrored the human struggles depicting London life. He says that people have lost the sense of value humanity. Charles Dickens was pleased when parliament eventually agreed to pass 1832 Reform Act____. He wanted to communicate with the society through his articles and various other means.

  • Ouida Bergère
    Ouida Bergère Also Known As: Eulalia Bergère, Ida Bergère, Mrs. George Fitzmaurice, Mrs. Basil Rathbone Lived: December 14, 1885 - November 29, 1974 Worked as: adapter, film actress, scenario editor, screenwriter Worked In: United States by Laura Jacquelyn Simmons Ouida Bergère was perhaps best known in the film industry as Mrs. Basil Rathbone and party hostess extraordinaire. However, before her marriage, to Rathbone, Bergère was a prominent and top paid scenario writer. Bergère was born in Spain, but moved to the US at the age of six. Her father was French-Spanish and her mother, British (Lowrey 1920, 22). There is some conflicting information regarding her birth name; most sources claim she was born Ida Bergère, others Eulalia Bergère. Regardless, upon entering the film industry, she changed her name to Ouida. Bergère began her film career by serving as scenario editor and actress for Pathé Freres, eventually writing her own scripts and branching out to other companies, including Vitagraph and Famous Players-Lasky, according to the New York Dramatic Mirror in 1915 (24). Much of Bergère’s screenwriting career coincides with the career of her second husband, George Fitzmaurice, to whom she was married before Rathbone. She met Fitzmaurice after she started her screenwriting career, and after their marriage, he directed almost all of the films she wrote. As is the case with the many Hollywood marriages, Bergère’s relationship to Fitzmaurice must be considered when discussing her career, and, typically, because her career was so closely linked to that of Fitzmaurice, there is confusion about their credits. She very well might have had her hand in directing some of the films that have been credited to him, as was the case with other couples such as actress Alice Terry and director Rex Ingram.
