Professor Black considers London as the centre of all but also examines Dickens' effect on concepts of gender and social structure. Then there is government - from the Circumlocution Office to Britain as the supreme imperial power. There is also a valuable account of Dickens' relationship with America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDickens describes a culture - popular, middle and elite - and at the same time creates one. It takes a historian of Professor Black's standing to differentiate between the two and show how they inter-react.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41094770851884,"sku":"9781398115491","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9781398115491.jpg?v=1759680026","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9781398115491","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
