{"product_id":"dickens-and-travel-the-start-of-modern-travel-writing","title":"Dickens and Travel: The Start of Modern Travel Writing","description":"Charles Dickens's global travels across Europe, America, and Canada influenced his literary works.\n\nFrom childhood, Charles Dickens was fascinated by tales from other countries and other cultures and he longed to see the world. In Dickens and Travel, Lucinda Hawksley looks at the journeys made by her great great great grandfather. Dickens is usually perceived as a London author, yet in the 1840s, he whisked his family away to live in Italy for year, and some years later took up residence in Switzerland and then Paris. He travelled widely in Europe, long before the arrival of high-speed rail, toured America (twice) and Canada and, before his untimely death, was planning a tour of Australia. Dickens and Travel enters into the world of the Victorian traveller and looks at how Dickens’s journeys affected his writing.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1526737426\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1526737426.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hawksley, Lucinda\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
