From grimy back alleys and ghastly churchyards to debtors\u2019 prisons and old curiosity shops, Charles Dickens evoked a vision of Victorian London that\u2019s still vivid today. And, ever since Dickens\u2019 books were published, literary fans have visited London to seek out traces of the lost world he described. Lee Jackson, author of Dickensland, guides Ellie Cawthorne through some of the atmospheric sites associated with the author \u2013 from Lincoln\u2019s Inn to \u201cNancy\u2019s steps\u201d.<\/p>\n\n

Lee Jackson is the author of Dickensland: the Curious History of Dickens\u2019s London<\/em> (Yale, 2023)<\/strong><\/p>\n
