Late Victorians and Edwardians were obsessed with tracking down the locations-dubbed "Dickensland"-that famously featured in his novels. But his fans were faced with a city that was undergoing rapid redevelopment, where literary shrines were far from sacred. Over the following century, sites connected with Dickens were demolished, relocated, and reimagined. Lee Jackson traces the fascinating history of Dickensian tourism, exploring both real Victorian London and a fictional city shaped by fandom, tourism, and heritage entrepreneurs. Beginning with the late nineteenth century, Jackson investigates key sites of literary pilgrimage and their relationship with Dickens and his work, revealing hidden, reinvented, and even faked locations. From vanishing coaching inns to submerged riverside stairs, hidden burial grounds to apocryphal shops, Dickensland charts the curious history of an imaginary world"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Dead : to begin with -- Great rambling queer old places -- The burial ground -- Kingsgate Street to Dickens Avenue -- A tale of two houses -- The haunted bridge -- An old curiosity shop -- Down Newgate Lane -- Somebody else's sieve. 600 10 $a Dickens, Charles, $d 1812-1870 $x Homes and haunts $z London. $z London. 600 17 $a Dickens, Charles, $d 1812-1870 $2 fast $1 https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJpj8M9G8RjTPvBdJbPCwC $0 (OCoLC)fst00028294 650 0 $a Literary landmarks $z London. $z London. 650 0 $a Literary journeys $z London $z London $x History. 650 7 $a Homes $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01353235 650 7 $a Literary landmarks $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00999933 651 0 $a London (England) $x History. 651 0 $a London (England) $v Guidebooks. 651 7 $a England $z London $2 fast $1 https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJp68ckpMtKGHPFWQrwDMP $0 (OCoLC)fst01204271 655 7 $a History $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Jackson, Lee, 1971- $t Dickensland. $d New Haven : Yale University Press, [2023] $z 0300275056 $w (OCoLC)1395233634 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240717011733.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0111A84A440211EF98CC15ED37ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
