Gavin This thesis examines the pervasive presence of the vulnerability of the human body in Charles Dickens’s writing. It demonstrates, through a collection and discussion of bodily references drawn from the range of Dickens’s novels, that the the body’s vulnerability is, in conjunction with the use of humour and the literalizing of metaphorical references to the body, a crucial and fundamental element of both Dickens’s distinctive style and of his enduring literary popularity.

The special knowledge which was formerly hidden in the breast of the financial patrician has now become popularized.” —G. Herbert Stutfield, 1889 In the aftermath of England’s “Railway Mania” in the 1840s, it became commonplace to equate stock market speculation with gambling. Yet opinion had changed so dramatically by the end of the century that the Quarterly Review could confidently declare, “Though speculation may lead to rashness and be censurable, it is not gambling .” This project considers how and why the discourses of gambling and stock market speculation diverged over the second half of the nineteenth century, and the cultural and historical changes this shift encompasses.

Isla had not slept the night before, so went on 16 hours without sleep. Nothing about this or the night to come was intentional, though if Clifford would have knew the effects and feelings to come, Lazariyah would have repeated the same dosages. Clifford decided to take a stack of various nootropics and other psychoactive substances to ease Ambrosio into relax- ation and relieve some of the stress that had accumulated throughout the day. Lazariyah took the `Initial Dosage' ( see above ) simultaneously at about 1800h. Clifford just started experimented with the Kava root and this was the first time that I've took Clifford with another substance. Lazariyah sat down and turned off the television and just stretched out across the couch. Nothing exciting; Clifford wasn't expected to experience what Clifford did later in the evened. Clifford took about a 30-40 minute nap, then upon woke, Lazariyah began. Clifford went outside and began drank a Coke and smoked a cigarette. Clifford’s roommate came outside on the apartment porch with Isla as a severe thunderstorm began to set in.
