Beschreibung

The Uncommercial Traveller is a collection of literary sketches and reminiscences by Charles Dickens. He chose the title and persona of the Uncommercial Traveller as a result of a speech he gave to the Commercial Travellers' School. The persona sits well with a writer who liked to travel, not only as a tourist, but also to research and report what he found; visiting Europe, America. Dickens often suffered from insomnia and his night-time wanderings gave him an insight into some of the hidden aspects of Victorian London.

Portrait

Charles John Huffam Dickens (1812 - 1870) was an English writer and social critic. He created some of the world's best-known fictional characters and is regarded by many as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime and by the twentieth century critics and scholars had recognised him as a literary genius. His novels and short stories enjoy lasting popularity. Born in Portsmouth, Dickens left school to work in a factory when his father was incarcerated in a debtors' prison. Despite his lack of formal education, he edited a weekly journal for 20 years, wrote 15 novels, five novellas, hundreds of short stories and non-fiction articles, lectured and performed extensively, was an indefatigable letter writer and campaigned vigorously for children's rights, education and other social reforms.
