The city is shown to be an imagined or virtual world but with a serious aim for a serious game: Dickens sets up a workshop for the simulation of real societies and cities. This urban building with is transferable to other literatures and medial forms.

Recenzii

“It is a topic that has appealed to scholars and anyone fascinated by Britain’s world city, but also by the representation of urban experience as a phenomenon of modernity, as well as postmodernity.” (Efraim Sicher, Dickens Quarterly, Vol. 37 (1), March, 2020)
