Simon Callow's Charles Dickens and the Great Theatre of the World, Dickens' life through his interest in theatre and dramatics, turned out much more engaging than I'd expected - definitely recommended!
Now, I've moved on to a rather odd book: Florence and Giles by John Harding. It's been compared to Turn of the Screw, although no governess has appeared yet after an hour and a half. Florence has a strange ideolectic way of speaking, making up her own verbs and such, which can be a bit grating, but I'm pretty much used to it.
