Charles Dickens
1812 - 1870
one of the most popular novelists of all time, whose writings combined a range of extraordinary qualities
The novels of Dickens' later life combine extraordinary caricatures and rhetoric with an astonishing sense of social and psychological awarness. They are regarded by critics as some of the most important literary works ever.
Dickens was the most famous author of his era, and his fame grew as he wrote more novels. The Pitwick Papers, which followed a unique method of publication - in monthly installments - set the standard for many similar texts in England at the time.
Dickens left school at the age of 15, and was forced into hard work to support himself. His later novels, particularly David Copperfield, include characters in the same predicament.
