About Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens is one of the most iconic and influential authors in history, and his works remain widely read today. With his vivid characters, witty dialogue, and commentary on social issues of the Victorian Era, Dickens has become one of the most beloved writers in literature.

Born in 1812 to a middle-class family in England, Charles Dickens wrote 15 novels and dozens of short stories throughout his life. His works are renowned for their depth and complexity—from tales of poverty-stricken orphans (Oliver Twist) to social reformers (Hard Times) to humorous romps through London's high society (Nicholas Nickleby). His writing was also infused with personal experiences from his own past—most notably with his father’s imprisonment for bankruptcy when he was only 12 years old. Find out more about Charles Dickens.
