Publisher Description
The Uncommercial Traveler (1860).
A collection of papers of the author’s travels and experiences, written in the later part of Dickens' life for a publication, a kind of serial magazine he had founded, form a kind of journal which now reads not unlike a blog.
These writings are Dickens' observations on contemporary life.
There are accounts of a shipwreck and local heroes; his night-walking cures for insomnia; visits to a London workhouse; an emigrant ship transporting Mormons to America; his dull town of birth; lawyers; tramps; nurses; pubs; mortuaries; graveyards; railway food; sea-sickness; travelling abroad; and a view inside London's deserted churches. It’s interesting, historically, and entertaining and well written by Dickens.
