London in Victorian Era

A CHRISTMAS CAROL

by Charles Dickens

The mud encrusted street was avoided by the upper class who rode in carriages but the lower classes were forced to walk through the filth of the street.

The Street

The book was written and published in early Victorian era Britain when it was experiencing a nostalgic interest in its forgotten Christmas traditions, and at the time when new customs such as the Christmas tree and greeting cards were being introduced. Dickens' sources for the tale appear to be many and varied but are principally the humiliating experiences of his childhood, his sympathy for the poor, and various Christmas stories and fairy tales.

Victorian London

• The street is where classes combine, functioning together. The upper class in carriages and the lower class on foot, mix in the street. The street is home to a large part of the filth in Victorian London.

On the Streets

A bustling market place at the turn of the century; the street is paved.

The filth of the street is visible by the dark color of the gutter. The upper class were spared walking through the street because they could afford carriages, while the lower classes had to walk through the street.

By the turn of the century, streets even in lower class areas were paved. In this instance the street is paved with cobblestones.

The Dustmen gathered the dirt and ash of the city. The majority of dust came from the burning of coal for heat.

The hidden people behind the upper class - the servants.

EBENEZER SCROOGE

CHRISTMAS CAROLS

CHRISTMAS IN

VICTORIAN ENGLAND

by Michelle J. Hoppe

Ebenezer Scrooge is the principal character in Charles Dickens's 1843 novel, A Christmas Carol. At the beginning of the novel, Scrooge is a cold-hearted, tight-fisted and greedy man, who despises Christmas and all things which give people happiness. Dickens describes him thus: "The cold within him froze his old features, nipped his pointed nose, made his eyes red, his thin lips blue, and he spoke out shrewdly in his grating voice ..." His last name has come into the English language as a byword for miserliness and misanthropy, traits displayed by Scrooge in the exaggerated manner for which Dickens is well-known. The tale of his redemption by the three Ghosts of Christmas (Ghost of Christmas Past, Ghost of Christmas Present, and Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come) has become a defining tale of the Christmas holiday. Scrooge's catchphrase, "Bah, humbug!" is often used to express disgust with many of the modern Christmas traditions.

LISTEN TO CRISTMAS CAROLS

AND SING THEM FOR PLEASURE!

Although Christ's Nativity has been celebrated since the 4th century, most of the English customs we are familiar with today are as recent as the mid-19th century. Many of the early ceremonies were rooted in pagan beliefs, and some customs, like wassailing, still survive.
