The World of Charles Dickens
Charles John Huffam Dickens, (1812 – 1870), pen-name “Boz”, was the most popular English novelist of the Victorian era, and one of the most popular of all time.
He created some of literature’s most iconic characters, with the theme of social reform running throughout his work. The continuing popularity of his novels and short stories is such that they have never gone out of print.
Much of his work first appeared in periodicals and magazines in serialized form, a popular way of publishing fiction at that time. Other writers would complete entire novels before serial publication commenced, but Dickens often wrote his in parts, in the order they were meant to appear. The practice lent his stories a particular rhythm, punctuated by one “cliffhanger” after another, to keep the public eager for the next instalment!
His work has been praised for its mastery of prose, and for its teeming gallery of unique personalities, leading to a “timeless” quality and appeal to his work.
