Scrooge's London
Manage episode 314060350 series 2985623
Just when we thought that there was nothing more to say about Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, we uncover a compelling story-behind-the-story.
We'll investigate the story as a moment of catharsis for Dickens, mixing in his past trauma and his adult crisis; also, the fascinations and frustrations of Victorian London that result in the classic.
We'll chat about the history about the history of Christmas in Britain, the early life of Charles Dickens, Victorian London, a pivotal journey for Charles, and make look for connections to London characters and locations. You'll find out where the Cratchits lived and who may have been the model for Ebenezer Scrooge.
Along the way, we'll consider the great Yorkshire "Snowasis" of November 2021, the tradition of the Krampus, the lights of London, hot buttered rum, and ahem, the glam band, Slade.
ADDITIONAL NOTES, LINKS, AND PHOTOS CAN BE FOUND HERE.
