The Literary Reflection of London in the Works of the Authors of the Second Half of the 19th Century

Abstract

The bachelor thesis analyses the economic background and social situation of the Mid-Victorian era. It also deals with some social issues and their critics, and also the approach of the local authorities. The cultural-historical overview of London and the perception of the city as a region then serves as a foundation for the analysis of the works of the Victorian authors such as Charles Dickens, A.C. Doyle, and R-L. Stevenson that illustrates the selected social and regional phenomena of this age.
