I’ll have to gather some more thoughts about this, and will probably blog about it in the coming days. It felt so timeless, and so Brexity. Dickens is hardly blameless in racist attitudes. His oft #antisemitism is notable. But oh, this was on point. #Brexit #Novels #VictorianLiterature #Literature #CharlesDickens #Britain
