“OUR FRENCH WATERING-PLACE” BY CH. DICKENS (1854): QUESTIONS OF POETICS

Abstract

The author considers the fragment of “the French picture of the world”, seen and re-created by Charles Dickens in his essay, and pays special attention to the image of the person traveling and resting in the French resort, to the story of the city of Boulogne and to the description of communication between the French and English nations representatives, to which the writer attributed the central place in the narration.
