| Evidence: | 'I have just begun Forster's Life of Dickens again. I did not finish it before. I think that will start me off for the autumn. I want a fact book not a fiction book. There are some wonderful things in it. When Dickens finally left the blacking factory he so much hated, he wept. "With a relief so strange that it was like oppression, I went home".' |
