Podcast: Charles Dickens: A Brain on Fire! 🔥Published On: Sun May 08 2022
Description: Dominic is joined by Marzia Dati: Professor of English Literature at Liceo Marconi High School and founder of the first Italian Branch of the International Dickens Fellowship, in her home town of Carrara. Marzia’s new book A Sentimental Journey through Carrara is a visitor’s guide to this remarkable town that sits at the foot of the Apuan Alps, as they slope their way down to the Sea …  These marble mountains gave Michelangelo the stone from which he cut the figure of his famous David, and today, if you stand in the lobby of the One World Trade Centre in New York, you will see that its walls are also decorated with Carrara’s unique marble … Dickens visited Carrara in January 1845 and Marzia shares what he, and other famous writers and artists, found there.
