"Dickensian Inns & Taverns" by B. W. Matz is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores the various inns and taverns mentioned in Dickens's writings, providing background and context about them. It aims to highlight the significance of these establishments in Dickens's stories and their roles in the social life of 19th-century England. The opening of the text sets the stage for an exploration of the connection
between Charles Dickens and the many inns depicted in his novels. Matz introduces his motivation for compiling this work, stemming from the popularity of his previous book on Pickwick inns. He emphasizes the importance of these establishments not only as backdrops for characters but as integral parts of the narrative, reflecting the romanticism of the coaching era. Matz hints at the nostalgic atmosphere of these taverns and their relevance in portraying Dickens's perspective on travel and hospitality, as he prepares to delve into specific examples across Dickens's body of work.
