It's a time of radical change in Britain, when industrial miracles and artistic innovations rub shoulders with political unrest, poverty and disease. It's also a turbulent time in the private life of Charles Dickens, as he copes with a double bereavement and early signs that his marriage is falling apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut this formative year will become perhaps the greatest turning point in Dickens's career, as he embraces his calling as a chronicler of ordinary people's lives, and develops a new form of writing that will reveal just how interconnected the world is becoming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Turning Point transports us into the foggy streets of Dickens's London, closely following the twists and turns of a year that would come to define him, and forever alter Britain's relationship with the world. Fully illustrated, and brimming with fascinating details about the larger-than-life man who wrote Bleak House, this is the closest look yet at one of the greatest literary personalities ever to have lived.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Robert Douglas-Fairhurst","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44474204717225,"sku":"9781784708337","price":12.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0424\/9518\/0962\/files\/9781784708337.jpg?v=1721795718","url":"https:\/\/roseyravelstonbooks.com.au\/products\/the-turning-point","provider":"RoseyRavelston Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
