Answers
Charles dicken describes how the people work hard but low paid during
the industrial revolution. Instead of that they can't able to refuse to work.
Charles Dickens soaked up the scene here too, but saw something utterly different. Passing through in 1835, he observed “streets and courts [that] dart in all directions, until they are lost in the unwholesome vapour which hangs over the house-tops and renders the dirty perspective uncertain and confined.” There were drunken women quarrelling—“Wy don’t you pitch into her, Sarah?”—and men “in their fustian dresses, spotted with brick-dust and whitewash” leaning against posts for hours. Seven Dials was synonymous with poverty and crime, a black hole to most Londoners. Dickens stormed it with pen and paper.
It’s hard to conjure the notorious slum from the column steps today. Passing reference to the area’s history in a guidebook is abstract, leaving you with a cloudy image of sooty faces. But read Dickens’ description of the Dials in Sketches by Boz, and it comes to life. Newspaper essays collected into his first book, in 1836, Sketches follows a fictional narrator, Boz, who roams the metropolis and observes its neighborhoods, people and customs. Detailed and lively, it’s the closest we have to a film reel of early 19th-century London.
