El escritor Charles Dickens nació en 1812, en el seno de una familia de clase media que atravesó dificultades financieras como consecuencia de los derroches de su padre, John. Sin embargo, su situación se agravó con el encarcelamiento de este último en 1824 en Marshalsea, una cárcel situada en Southwark, Londres. Charles, que por aquel entonces tenía doce años de edad, se vio obligado a empeñar su colección de libros, abandonar la escuela y comenzar a trabajar en una fábrica sucia e infestada de ratas en la que se producía betún para calzado. El cambio radical de vida le produjo «una profunda ira social y personal» que influyó en gran medida en su manera de escribir y en su perspectiva, de acuerdo con el biógrafo Michael Slater.

An interview with Tauno Bilsted recorded in NYC in August 2023 that took place at the Umbrella House, a formally squatted building that is now a home for artists, community activists and workers in the East Village in Manhattan. In this interview we speak about "The Anatomist's Tale" published by Lanternfish Press, this is a write up: Glorious Marshalsea! The cells here—slick with algae and vomit, sweaty with the resigned terror of their occupants—have seen the end of many rogues and more than a few innocents. Born into abject poverty in the British Empire, our narrator aspires to a better life as a ship's surgeon—until a tyrannical captain provokes a mutiny, forcing him into a life of piracy and eventually to a tropical commune of maroons called New Madagascar. Told through a series of confessions to those who visit the narrator during his imprisonment at Marshalsea, The Anatomist's Tale relates one man's brush with the heady freedom of outlaws—and the price of returning to "civilization." Info: https://www.akpress.org/the-anatomist-s-tale.html Music on this edition is Passage by Anarchist Mountains. Thank you to my friend Spike Taylor for helping to make this interview happen. Stefan produces a monthly artist interview series that broadcasts monthly on Radio AlHara in regular programming and airs on the third Friday of each month at 11am on CKUT 90.3FM in Montreal (ckut.ca) and on the second Tuesday of each month on CJLO 1690 AM at 1:30pm also in Montreal.

Aunque pueda parecer lo contrario, la morosidad no es un fenómeno reciente. Es más antigua incluso que el propio dinero, ya que hasta en la época del trueque y el intercambio de bienes, cuyo pago en ocasiones se aplazaba, ya se producían situaciones de impagos de deudas. Lo que ha evolucionado en este tiempo es la forma de tratar a dichos morosos. En aquellos tiempos pretéritos, las normas más primitivas, o incluso la inexistencia de las mismas, provocaban que estos conflictos acabasen resolviéndose por medio de la violencia, llegando en muchas ocasiones a provocar la muerte del moroso si no podía afrontar sus deudas. Con el paso del tiempo, las condenas por delitos de morosidad fueron evolucionando y humanizándose. En la Antigua Roma, podías acabar esclavizado para saldar una deuda pendiente. Más adelante, a los morosos se les humillaba en público para señalarlos y avergonzarles. El punto álgido de la persecución a los morosos quizá se alcanzase entre la Edad Media y la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, cuando se extendieron por Europa las llamadas prisiones para deudores. En ellas eran encerrados los morosos condenado y, en ocasiones, se fijaba un tiempo de estancia, aunque lo más normal era que los reos solo lograsen la libertad tras cancelar su deuda. El objetivo de estas condenas no era tanto hacer cumplir al sancionado con la obligación de pagar, sino presionarle para que acabase revelando bienes que tuviera ocultos o escondidos. En Europa fueron conocidas las prisiones para deudores de Alemania, que usaban este castigo como método para obligar a que pagasen y, en otras ocasiones, para que no pudiesen huir, y asegurar así su asistencia al juicio contra ellos. Llegar a este punto era muy deshonroso para el deudor. También en Países Bajos cobraron gran importancia estas edificaciones. Allí podían acabar los morosos que se negaban a comparecer en juicio, o los que no pagaban sus multas o deudas. Además, el paso por estas prisiones de deudores no cancelaba la cantidad debida ni sus correspondientes intereses. Malta o Grecia son otros países que también contaban con este tipo de cárceles. Pero las más famosas e importantes de Europa fueron las británicas. Entre los siglos XVIII y XIX, más de 10.000 personas eran detenidas cada año por culpa de la morosidad. Y como en tantos y tantos aspectos de la vida, dentro y fuera de la cárcel, los humildes lo tenían más complicado que los miembros de familias más pudientes. A los pobres, aunque estuvieran condenados por deudas míseras, les era imposible saldarlas y muchos acababan muriendo en prisión. Además, al ser una carga para los guardianes, que no tenían forma de aprovecharse de ellos, eran tratados con brutalidad. La única opción para ellos era la caridad. Para ello, se habilitaba en estas prisiones de deudores una habitación, con una reja que daba a la calle, a través de la cual podían pedir limosna a los transeúntes. Las condiciones eran algo mejores para los encarcelados bien posicionados a nivel económico, ya que muchos sobornaban a los guardias que, debido a sus bajos salarios, estaban abiertos a este tipo de acuerdos. Además, a estos acaudalados se les permitía recibir visitas e incluso hacer negocios, lo que aumentaba las opciones para saldar la deuda y conseguir la ansiada libertad. Las mujeres lograban mantener activos burdeles si sobornaban a los guardias. En algunas prisiones, como la famosa Fleet Prison de Londres, hasta les permitían vivir fuera de la cárcel, en las calles cercanas. Sin embargo, hasta para los más afortunados, la vida en estas prisiones estaba lejos de ser ideal. Lo contaba en una carta enviada a un amigo Samuel Byron, hijo del famoso escritor, allá por 1826. "¡Qué barbaridad puede ser mayor que los carceleros (sin que medie provocación) carguen de grilletes a los prisioneros, los encierren en mazmorras, los esposen, les nieguen las visitas de sus amigos y les fuercen a pagar cantidades excesivas por su alojamiento, vituallas y bebidas; que abran sus cartas y se apropien de las limosnas que les envían! (…) la prisión por deudas inflige una mayor pérdida al país, en forma de desperdicio de potencia y energía, que los monasterios y conventos en el extranjero y entre los pueblos católicos (…) Holanda, el país más incivil del mundo, trata a los deudores con benevolencia y a los malhechores con rigor; Inglaterra, en cambio, se muestra indulgente con los asesinos y ladrones, pero a los pobres deudores se les exigen imposibles".​ Algunas de las cárceles más famosas de Reino Unido, además de la citada Fleet Prison, fueron, por un lado, la cárcel de Marshalsea, en la que estuvo detenido el padre de Charles Dickens, por una deuda con una panadero, y que el escritor retrató con toda su crueldad en algunas de sus novelas; o, por otro, la King's Bench Prison. No obstante, la más conocida, sin duda, fue The Clink, quizá la prisión más antigua de Reino Unido. Perteneciente al obispo de Winchester, recibió su nombre por el sonido metálico que se producía cuando se cerraban las puertas de la cárcel. El nombre se utiliza aún hoy en día como sinónimo de estar en prisión. El general británico James Oglethorpe, miembro del Parlamento, conoció las condiciones de las prisiones de deudores a través de un amigo suyo, condenado por moroso. En 1728 presidió una Comisión de Investigación que descubrió que, como ya imaginaban, se debían mejorar las situaciones de estas cárceles y dar salida a los morosos detenidos, ya que dicha reclusión impedía poder recuperar el dinero que debían. Esta Comisión logró una modificación de las leyes, que hizo que muchos morosos fueran puestos en libertad, tal y como se había pedido. ¿Cuál era el problema? Que nadie contrataba a los deudores. Sin salida, muchos acababan delinquiendo para volver de nuevo a prisión. Otra vez Oglethorpe se puso a buscar una solución y la encontró al otro lado del Atlántico, en el llamado Nuevo Mundo. Junto a un grupo filantrópico creó el Patronato para el establecimiento de la colonia de Georgia. Así, solicitaron al rey, Jorge II, la carta real y la concesión de tierras para dicho establecimiento. De esta manera, la metrópoli ahorraba los gastos de manutención en la cárcel, se libraba de potenciales delincuentes, reforzaba sus posiciones en América y, por si fuera poco, con el nombre de la colonia, Georgia, se lanzaba un guiño al rey. En abril de 1732 aprobaron la propuesta. En noviembre de ese año, Oglethorpe partía rumbo a América con una tripulación formada por 100 colonos, en su mayoría morosos, pero también había reclusos perseguidos por cuestiones religiosas. Cuatro meses después de partir llegan a Savannah, que acabaría siendo la primera capital del Estado. Este era, por cierto, un territorio que reclamaban los españoles, que fueron los primeros en asentarse allí en una misión encabezada por Lucas Vázquez de Ayllón. Sin embargo, aunque tardaron poco en abandonarlo por el mal tiempo y las enfermedades. Fue Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, el 'adelantado', el que, a mediados del siglo XVI, consumó la conquista definitiva tras vencer a los franceses. No obstante, España, que no le veía gran valor a la región, ni siquiera protegió militarmente la zona, en manos de órdenes religiosas. El conflicto entre británicos y españoles acabó resolviéndose en la Guerra del Asiento, en la que vencieron los hombres de Oglethorpe. Además, el comandante inglés fue capaz de resolver de forma amistosa los problemas con los nativos. También estableció normas muy avanzadas para la época en la región, incluyendo la igualdad agraria, para apoyar y perpetuar la agricultura familiar, y, sobre todo, la ilegalización de la esclavitud. Durante 10 años, la colonia sobrevivió siguiendo la normativa desarrollada por Oglethorpe. Pero en cuanto este regresó a Londres, todo se vino abajo en aquel territorio de ideas utópicas. Sin esclavos, la mano de obra se reducía a la de los propios colonos. Una condición que, decían, limitaba su productividad respecto a la del resto de colonias. Sus vecinos de Carolina del Norte y del Sur prosperaban gracias al cultivo de maíz y arroz, explotando mano de obra esclava. Mientras que en Georgia no lograban producir lo suficiente como para exportar, y el alto precio de los productos importados les llevaba a recurrir al contrabando de productos españoles a través de Florida. Así, olvidando su pasado en prisión y las penurias que habían vivido, decidieron levantar la prohibición y recuperar a los esclavos. Aprendieron que esta era la fórmula más rápida para aumentar sus beneficios.

In Episode 19 of the EWBR podcast, Anisha & Dhruv discuss Mindy Kaling's smash hit, Never Have I Ever and the importance of diverse story telling and casting. Re: diverse casting and "irrelevant ethnicity", see also Priyanka Chopra starrer Quantico and the upcoming Dev Patel medieval adventure, The Green Knight. Naturally all this talk of colour blind casting is incomplete without Armando Iannuccio's charming movie, The Personal History of David Copperfield and erm, Shonda Rhimes' Bridgerton. On the books front, there's Antonia Hodgson's cracking thriller about life in an 18th century debtors prison, The Devil in The Marshalsea. Anisha's top record for this week is Zakiya Dalila Harris' joyous work, The Other Black Girl. Also, uh, we talk about The Bold Type (Dhruv: "again?!" Anisha: "why not, eh?") Anisha's been painting the town red and tells us about her foray to "Pali Hill". Dhruv's not doing too badly himself and has been brunching at Milk Beach (oh Brunch, how we love you and everything that you represent).

Marshalsea was known for its imprisonment of the poorest of London's debtors and became particularly well known through the work of Charles Dickens. Today, we can still see the two gate arches and original brick wall in Southwark, London.

Sir Thomas Malory of Newbold Revel got into lots of legal trouble in 1443, 1451, 1452, and might or might not have done the things he got accused of, but he did indeed enter into a plot, along with Richard Neville, to overthrow King Edward IV, for which he ended up in prison. Too bad for him! But lucky for us, because that's when he wrote The Hoole Book of Kyng Arthur and of His Noble Knyghtes of The Rounde Table, which got published, after his death, by William Caxton, which is why we know it. Caxton, by the way, made a bunch of editing decisions, one of which was to shorten the title to Le Morte d'Arthur . Your hosts explain lots of things -- Malory's legal troubles, where Le Morte d'Arthur fits into Arthurian literature, his feud with the Duke of Buckingham -- and some holy oil given to Becket by the Virgin Mary herself, and Dickens' connection to Marshalsea prison. It's all connected. Really.

Little Dorrit - Charles Dickens - Book 13, Part 1 Title: Little Dorrit Overview: Little Dorrit is a novel by Charles Dickens, originally published in serial form between 1855 and 1857. The story features Amy Dorrit, the youngest child of her family, born and raised in the Marshalsea prison for debtors in London. Arthur Clennam encounters her after returning home from a 20-year absence, ready to begin his life anew. The novel satirizes some shortcomings of both government and society, including the institution of debtors' prisons, where debtors were imprisoned, unable to work, and yet incarcerated until they had repaid their debts. The prison, in this case, is the Marshalsea, where Dickens' own father had been imprisoned. Dickens is also critical of the impotent bureaucracy of the British government, in this novel in the form of the fictional "Circumlocution Office". Dickens also satirizes the stratification of society that results from the British class system.

Tauno Biltsted Born into abject poverty in the British Empire, our narrator aspires to a better life as a ship’s surgeon—until a tyrannical captain provokes a mutiny, forcing him into a life of piracy and eventually to a tropical commune of maroons called New Madagascar. Told through a series of confessions to those who visit the narrator during his imprisonment at Marshalsea, Tauno Biltsted's The Anatomist's Tale relates one man’s brush with the heady freedom of outlaws—and the price of returning to “civilization.” Caitlin Chung In the gridlocked harbor of San Francisco's Barbary Coast, a ship hung with red paper lanterns draws crowds eager to gamble and drink. Aboard this red-lit ship, the fates of two young women will be altered irrevocably—and tied forever to that of an ancient lighthouse keeper who longs to be free. Set against the backdrop of Gold Rush–era San Francisco's Chinese immigrant community, Ship of Fates is a coming-of-age fairy tale that stretches across generations. ________________________________________________ Produced by Maddie Gobbo & Michael Kowaleski Theme: "I Love All My Friends," a new, unreleased demo by Fragile Gang.

On his day in Tudor history, 15th August 1588, Catholics Robert Wilcox, Edward Campion, Christopher Buxton and Robert Widmerpool were examined while imprisoned in the Marshalsea prison in Southwark, London.  These men ended up being executed, three of them for being Catholic priests and one for giving aid to priests, at Oaten Hill, Canterbury. All four died with courage and in 1929 were beatified. Find out more about these men and how they came to be executed in today's talk from Claire Ridgway, author of "On This Day in Tudor History". You can see this podcast as a video at the following link:https://youtu.be/-7UPcJ5VRaQ Also on this day in Tudor history, 15th August 1603, Lady Mary Scudamore (née Shelton), a member of Elizabeth I's Privy Chamber and one of her favourite sleeping companions, was buried at Holme Lacy in Herefordshire. Mary was very close to the queen but suffered the queen's wrath at one point. I explain all in last year’s video - https://youtu.be/SFbnuab0u0k

Author Antonia Hodgson joins host Robin Milling at Kings Cross bar down in the Bowery in New York City to talk about her new murder mystery, The Devil In the Marshalsea. It's a fitting place to meet as her novel is set in 18th century gritty London where oweing a debt can land you in the city's most notorious prison -- the Marshalsea Gaol, and the Bowery was once home to vagrants and street criminals. Facts meet fiction in this page turner featuring the charming rogue Thomas Hawkins whose gambling habits get the best of him and he is thrown into the gaol where a murderer is still at large. Antonia tells Robin she spent many hours in the British public library researching prisoner's diaries, becoming fascinated with the debtors prisons where rich and poor alike ironically had to scrounge up money to pay for food and shelter in these seedy surroundings. She decided to set her crime novel in this world where whores, society gentlemen and scoundrels live under the roof of the ruthless governor William Acton who actually ran the Marshalsea almost 300 years ago. The Devil In The Marshalsea has visuals that are ripe for the screen. Antonia says the book has already been optioned for television to develop a series where her wish casting would include Tom Hiddleston in the role of Hawkins. In her other life Antonia is an editor and works with many actors so she is thinking about writing a part for Rupert Everett in her next book which is a sequel!

At the age of 12, the delicate and genteelly brought up Charles Dickens was plunged into employment in a boot-blacking factory, while his father was incarcerated in Marshalsea debtors' prison. These events traumatised the young Dickens, and greatly influenced his future work. However, as an adult this difficult period was never discussed, and only after his death did his account come out. That account has never been corroborated or challenged, but author Michael Allen has discovered that Dickens' employers at Warren's Blacking were fighting each other in the Chancery Court, revealing a great deal of new information.
