Excerpt from Charles Dickens and Rochester
He was, we are told, a very small boy for his age, and very delicate, insomuch that he could not engage in the ordinary sports Of boys, but sat apart and watched them at their play, or read such works of Defoe, Smollett, Fielding, and Goldsmith as he had access to.
All this and a great deal more we have from his own sketch of his early days in David Copperfield. When a very little fellow he had made several attempts at dramatic writing, or, as he says in his preface to a later edition of the Sketchy by Boa, They (the sketches) comprise my first attempts at authorship - with the exception of certain tragedies achieved at the mature age of eight or ten, and represented with great applause to overflowing nurseries. He had already become famous in his own childish circle as a good teller of a story, and an especially good singer of comic songs. Writing to Wilkie Collins in 1856, in answer to some enquiries as to his early years, he says: I had been a writer when I was a mere baby, and always an actor from the same age.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an extensive exploration of the works of Charles Dickens, with particular attention to the significant role the city of Rochester played in shaping his writing and imagination. The author demonstrates the profound influence Rochester had on Dickens's development as a writer, and how the city and its environs provided the inspiration for many of the most memorable characters and settings in his novels. The book examines the ways in which Dickens used Rochester as a backdrop for his stories, from the vividly rendered streets and buildings to the rich tapestry of local history and folklore. It argues that Rochester was not simply a setting for Dickens's work, but an active force that shaped his imagination and provided him with a wealth of material to draw upon. The book also explores the broader historical and literary context of Dickens's work, examining his relationship to other writers and thinkers of his time. It argues that Dickens was a product of his time, and that his work can be seen as a reflection of the social and cultural changes that were taking place in England during the Victorian era. It analyzes the ways in which Dickens's work engaged with contemporary debates about poverty, crime, and social justice, and how his writing helped to shape public opinion on these issues. Ultimately, this book is a celebration of the enduring power of Dickens's work and its ability to continue to speak to readers today. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Dickens's life and work, and a must-read for anyone who loves the city of Rochester.
