English
novelist, generally considered the greatest of the Victorian period.
Dickens's works are characterized by attacks on social evils, injustice,
and hypocrisy. He had also experienced in his youth oppression, when he
was forced to end school in early teens and work in a factory. Dickens's
good, bad, and comic characters, such as the cruel miser Scrooge, the
aspiring novelist David Copperfield, or the trusting and innocent Mr.
Pickwick, have fascinated generations of readers. Charles Dickens was
born in Landport, Hampshire, during the new industrial age, which gave
birth to theories of Karl Marx. Dickens's father was a clerk in the navy
pay office he was well paid but often ended in financial troubles. In
1814 Dickens moved to London, and then to Chatham, where he received
some education. |
