Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Dolby worked as manager and secretary for the author Charles Dickens, accompanying him on his famous writing tours in Britain and North America. As well as being a prolific author, Charles Dickens was renowned for his capacity to evocatively read his stories to others. He channeled the emotional and dramatic portions of his books so well that listeners often sat rapt in silence, with women and children sometimes moved to tears. Booked by many venues across Britain and America, Dickens was a popular sensation, who spent much of his final years constantly on the move, reading his finest stories to his fans. George Dolby speaks of his former employer with respect and admiration; Charles Dickens was a gentleman through-and-through, treating those he met courteously. A diligent manager, Dolby recalls the financial and practical aspects of the reading tours, and many of the interesting incidents he and Dickens experienced on their travels. Dolby also recalls how Dickens was prone to fatigue, with his health declining as the reading tours wore on. Finally, and most emotionally, he remembers his final meeting with the great author, mere days before he perished. This edition of Dolby's memoirs contains several illustrations, some of which had appeared in the popular press of the time.

Download or read book What Jane Austen Ate and Charles Dickens Knew written by Daniel Pool and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-10-02 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “delightful reader’s companion” (The New York Times) to the great nineteenth-century British novels of Austen, Dickens, Trollope, the Brontës, and more, this lively guide clarifies the sometimes bizarre maze of rules and customs that governed life in Victorian England. For anyone who has ever wondered whether a duke outranked an earl, when to yell “Tally Ho!” at a fox hunt, or how one landed in “debtor’s prison,” this book serves as an indispensable historical and literary resource. Author Daniel Pool provides countless intriguing details (did you know that the “plums” in Christmas plum pudding were actually raisins?) on the Church of England, sex, Parliament, dinner parties, country house visiting, and a host of other aspects of nineteenth-century English life—both “upstairs” and “downstairs. An illuminating glossary gives at a glance the meaning and significance of terms ranging from “ague” to “wainscoting,” the specifics of the currency system, and a lively host of other details and curiosities of the day.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Charles Dickens as I Knew Him: The Story of the Reading Tours in Great Britain and America (1866-1870) My Preface shall be a very brief one, but I feel that two or three introductory words are necessary. And in the first place (and chiefly I must confess with a wish to disarm them), I will make an apology to any and all of my critics who may miss in these pages the flavour and essence of a genuine literary work. I am far from the affectation of claiming for my book that it should rank as an artistic production. All that I have done is this: I have spent some months in the effort to tell, as simply as possible, the story of the famous Reading Tours of Charles Dickens; the most brilliantly successful enterprises of their kind that were ever undertaken. Had I the pen of a ready writer, I could have told my story a hundred times better than I have done; but such as it is, it has been a labour of love to me.
