Era Fiction

Charles Dickens, considered one of the greatest English authors of all time, wrote the essay "Sunday Under Three Heads" in 1836. It is a short piece expressing Charles Dickens' opinion on a bill being presented in the British Parliament which was meant to restrict pleasurable pursuits on Sundays. Dickens explains how this proposed act would negatively affect the poor people of Britain. Besides stating his opinion with eloquence, the essay provides a good description of life on an English Sunday in the early 19th century.

A través de los patchworks poéticos y el monólogo contemplativo de su protagonista, La civilización no era esto plantea una búsqueda de la belleza –que resulta ser pérdida, corrupción u oquedad. Lo realiza mediante "un acto íntimo entre la voz poética, que en este caso es un personaje, y su entorno, una ciudad mítica, poética y casi olvidada", en palabras de Aitana Monzón.

What water is there for us to clean ourselves?”
