Abstrakt:
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.
