  • Dickens and the ‘Invisible Towns’ in Northern Italy
    The Traveller as Liar: Dickens and the ‘Invisible Towns’ in Northern Italy CLOTILDE DE STASIO n a fairly recent book on Dickens’s characters, at the end of a section devoted to Pictures from Italy, James Davies argues that I Dickens’s travelogue ‘has to be read as travel fiction in which the Narrator-character is the main source of interest’ and that ‘the narrator emerges as a complex, unhappy and confused figure’ largely responsible for a narrative effect which this critic calls ‘latent negativity’. Far from being solely Dickensian, this dark view of the Italian experience was common to many British travellers at a time when the traditional interest in the Italy of the past was giving way to an interest in present-day Italy. According to C.P. Brand, ‘the idealistic halo with which the Romantics had surrounded Italy’ was being superseded by a more realistic outlook: ‘Dickens and his contemporaries mockingly substitute dirt and mosquitoes for the moonlit ruins and the serenades of their sentimental parents’.2 Even the ancient city of Rome was a source of disappointment and depression for such Victorians as William Thackerary or Arthur Clough. However, as I am arguing, in Pictures from Italy one can perceive a constant tension between memory and experience, dream and reality which is typical of Dickens and particularly characteristic of his later works. In a passage of Little Dorrit – a novel which for obvious reasons is often mentioned in connection with Pictures from Italy – Dickens makes fun of the lack of imagination of the typical Victorian tourist: ‘Everybody was walking about St Peter’s and the Vatican on somebody else’s cork legs, and straining every visible object through somebody else’s sieve.

I’ll get out.” “You’ll have, sir,” said the guard, glistening with drops of wet, and looking at the tearful face of his watch by the light of his lantern as the traveller descended, “three minutes here.” “More, I think.—For I am not going on.” “Thought you had a through ticket, sir?” “So I have, but I shall sacrifice the rest of it. I want my luggage.” “Please to come to the van and point it out, sir. Be good enough to look very sharp, sir. Not a moment to spare.” The guard hurried to the luggage van, and the traveller hurried after him. The guard got into it, and the traveller looked into it. “Those two large black portmanteaus in the corner where your light shines. Those are mine.” “Name upon ’em, sir?” “Barbox Brothers.” “Stand clear, sir, if you please. One. Two. Right!” Lamp waved. Signal lights ahead already changing. Shriek from engine.

  • Contextualizing Value: Market Stories in Mid-Victorian Periodicals By
    Contextualizing Value: Market Stories in Mid-Victorian Periodicals By Emily Catherine Simmons A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of English University of Toronto © Copyright Emily Catherine Simmons 2011 Abstract Contextualizing Value: Market Stories in Mid-Victorian Periodicals Emily Catherine Simmons Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of English, University of Toronto Copyright 2011 This dissertation examines the modes, means, and merit of the literary production of short stories in the London periodical market between 1850 and 1870. Shorter forms were often derided by contemporary critics, dismissed on the assumption that quantity equals quality, yet popular, successful, and respectable novelists, namely Charles Dickens, Anthony Trollope, Elizabeth Gaskell and Margaret Oliphant, were writing, printing, and distributing them. This study navigates a nexus of discourses about culture, literature, and writing to explore, delineate, and ascertain the implications of the contextual position of certain short stories. In particular, it identifies and characterizes a previously unexamined genre, here called the Market Story, in order to argue for the contingency and de-centring of processes and pronouncements of valuation. Market stories are defined by their relationship to a publishing industry that was actively creating a space for, demanding, and disseminating texts based on their potential to generate sales figures, draw attention to a particular organ,

  • Imagining Venice in Victorian Travel Writing
    eSharp Issue 23: Myth and Nation Tourism, Perception and Genre: Imagining and Re- imagining Venice in Victorian Travel Writing Peter Slater (University of Glasgow) Abstract Venice held an unusual place in the Victorian imagination. In nineteenth-century Britain, Venice was widely documented. It was the subject of sustained inspection both as a textual and a physical space. This article traces a textual dialogue between three key voices in the representation of Venice to the British public in mid-nineteenth century. John Murray’s1 ubiquitous series Handbooks for Travellers in Northern Italy (1842-60) is analysed to set John Ruskin’s The Stones of Venice (1851-53) and Charles Dickens’s Pictures of Italy (1846)2 in context. A textual and generic dialogue between Murray, Ruskin, and Dickens is traced, showing how each writer used Venice as a site through which to imagine and re-imagine the conditions of the domestic perception of a foreign place. In different ways, Dickens and Ruskin react to the cultural authority held by the Murray guidebooks. Domestic perception of a foreign place is regulated by texts that engaged with it. Murray’s guidebooks imagined Venice for the Victorian armchair or actual tourist. Ruskin and Dickens then re-imagined it in opposition to Murray and, in doing so, offered their own way of seeing, writing, and knowing other cultures. Keywords: Venice, Dickens, Ruskin, John Murray, imagination, perception, genre, tourist, gaze, travel, writing, Victorian, guidebooks, domestic, foreign, nationhood. Venice held an unusual place in the Victorian imagination. As one periodicalist in Sharpe’s London Magazine declared in 1866, ‘Venice! Of all cities of the world there is perhaps none which is so well known to those who know only by report’.

  • Dickensian Dreamscapes
    Sara Gazo. Dickensian Dreamscapes Dickensian Dreamscapes Sara Gazo, Independent Scholar Keywords: Dickens, dreamscape, dream, oneirism, nightwalking, early coaches, night walks, an Italian Dream, Venice, London Mots-clés: Dickens, paysage oniriques, rêve, onirisme, promenades nocturnes, diligences, rêve italien, Venise, Londres Dreaming and oneirism were popular subjects with the Victorians. Dream theory was then, it seems, divided between two main trends: a spiritualist trend (holding that dreams are a means to communicate either with God or with the dead) and a scientific trend (Bernard, 197), itself fragmented into disparate theories, mostly listing external stimuli and physiological condition—imperfect sleep, dyspepsia, or even insanity—as the main factors to influence dream-formation. The dreamer’s morality was also considered by some as a major influence on dreaming. Whereas the focus increasingly shifted towards a scientific approach, some elements derived from centuries of superstition and faith in the preternatural continued to influence the Victorian mind, mostly in the form of manuals on dream-interpretation.1 Like many of his contemporaries, Dickens seems to have been inordinately intrigued by the processes underlying mental phenomena: his personal and public writings reveal his deep fascination with, and quasi-scientific attitude to, dream and oneiric phenomena—a topic which, surprisingly enough, was comparatively neglected until fairly recently.2 Because he gathered an impressive amount of 1 Bernard 1981, Bodenheimer 2007 and Glance 2001 offer a panoramic survey of the evolution of Victorian dream theory as well as valuable information about the Victorians’ varied approaches to dreaming, oneirism and dreamwork. 2 Pioneering essays such as Wilson 1942, Winters 1948, and Stoehr 1965, did point out the oneiric and psychological sides of Dickens.

Fernand Braudel, Civilization and Capitalism.15th-18th Century. "We could see Genoa . and watching it as it gradually developed its splendid ampitheatre above garden above garden, palace above palace, height upon height, was ample occupation for us, till we ran into its stately harbour." Charles Dickens, Pictures From Italy TRANSITION Genoa has reinvented itself many times. It is again in transformation. In the past, perhaps an apogee was reached in the 16th century. The historian of the Mediterranean, Fernand Braudel describes how, at that moment, together with Venice, Florence, and Milano, Genoa was dominant and unique (see "the Age of the Genoese" in Braudel's The Perspective of the World). Throughout its history Genoa has been particularly strategic given its extraordinary port which enjoys centrality within in the land mass of Western Europe. Today though diminished from its former importance, it still harbors the sixth largest container port in Western Europe. In the 16th century, through moving of money and goods, the fortunes of the Genovese far exceeded its compact territory. Genoa re-emerged in the late 19th century as an industrial powerhouse including manufacture of heavy equipment related to new land transportation modalities. Genoa is now in another transition and period of uncertainty, perhaps best symbolized by the transformation of its Old Port, once a global destination for shipping which is now a cultural destination dominated by Renzo Piano's Old Harbor project (2002-04).
