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. After several months, an unexpected inheritance relieved Dickens’ father from his debt, and Charles eventually left the factory and returned to school. Still, Charles’ job gluing labels on bottles traumatized him, leaving a deep impression that would haunt him for the rest of his life. These difficult times inspired Charles Dickens to include many economic and child labor issues in his fiction. At age 15, Dickens’ father met with new financial difficulties, which caused Charles to leave school and seek permanent employment. Although his formal Dickens in New York, 1867, Wikipedia. education was limited, his enthusiasm for reading and his natural writing ability carried him far. He first worked as a clerk in a legal office, and later as a stenographer in the law courts of London. By 1832 he became a reporter for two London newspapers. In the following year, he began to contribute a series of impressions and sketches to various publications under the pen name “Boz.” The same year, Dickens began to write The Pickwick Papers in several monthly installments. This form of serial writing became a standard method of writing fiction in the Victorian Era. In fact, many of Dickens’ successful novels, such as Oliver Twist, Nicholas Nickelby, Great Expectations, and A Tale of Two Cities began as magazine installments. In 1836, Dickens married Catherine Hogarth, the daughter of the editor of a London newspaper. Together they had ten children. 7 A NOISE WITHIN 2019/20 REPERTORY SEASON | Holiday 2019 Audience Guide A Christmas Carol In 1842, Dickens went on a five-month long lecture tour of America, speaking out strongly for the abolition of A Chronology of Dickens’ Major Works slavery and of other reforms, during which he wrote his travelogue, American Notes for General Circulation. 1836: Pickwick Papers 1848: The Haunted Man 1837: Oliver Twist 1849: David Copperfield Soon after his return to England, Dickens began to 1838: Nicholas Nickleby 1853: Bleak House write A Christmas Carol (1843), the first of three stories Dickens penned about Christmas (followed by The 1840: The Old Cottage 1854: Hard Times Chimes (1844) and The Cricket on the Hearth (1845).

  • 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.

  • Listening to Movies: Film Music and the American Composer Charles Elliston Long Middle School INTRODUCTION I Entered College
    Listening to Movies: Film Music and the American Composer Charles Elliston Long Middle School INTRODUCTION I entered college a naïve 18-year-old musician. I had played guitar for roughly four years and was determined to be the next great Texas blues guitarist. However, I was now in college and taking the standard freshman music literature class. Up to this point the most I knew about music other than rock or blues was that Beethoven was deaf, Mozart composed as a child, and Chopin wrote a really cool piano sonata in B-flat minor. So, we’re sitting in class learning about Berlioz, and all of the sudden it occurred to me: are there any composers still working today? So I risked looking silly and raised my hand to ask my professor if there were composers that were still working today. His response was, “Of course!” In discussing modern composers, the one medium that continuously came up in my literature class was that of film music. It occurred to me then that I knew a lot of modern orchestral music, even though I didn’t really know it. From the time when I was a little kid, I knew the name of John Williams. Some of my earliest memories involved seeing such movies as E.T., Raiders of the Lost Ark, and The Empire Strikes Back. My father was a musician, so I always noted the music credit in the opening credits. All of those films had the same composer, John Williams. Of course, I was only eight years old at the time, so in my mind I thought that John Williams wrote all the music for the movies.

  • 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.

It shows imitatio to be a dynamic, rich and sophisticated practice, one which may be productively read as both a form of intertextuality and reception, terms which capture its contingent and active nature. The readings here re-calibrate Petrarch’s canzoniere suggesting that this influential sequence of love sonnets is itself a moralised re- writing of Roman erotic elegy. By re-framing the ‘Petrarchan’ love poetry of Thomas Wyatt, Philip Sidney, John Donne and Mary Sidney as elegiac receptions, the readings here re-open these familiar texts and offer fresh interpretations of how they can be made to mean.
