- Abstract
The article discusses the finding by Ruth Richardson, author of the book "Dickens and the Workhouse," that the family of author Charles Dickens lived in a building that is still standing at 10 Norfolk Street in London, England from 1815 to 1816 and from 1829 to 1831. It comments on the nearby Strand Union Workhouse, which may have inspired Dickens' novel "Oliver Twist," and debates surrounding its preservation. The author also reflects on workhouse conditions and individuals who may have served as real-life inspiration for Dickens' characters.
