About Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens is one of the most beloved and renowned authors in literary history. His writings are known for their social commentary, clever use of language, and timeless characters. Born in 1812 in Portsmouth, England, Dickens created some of the most famous works of literature ever written including Oliver Twist (1838), A Christmas Carol (1843), David Copperfield (1850) and Great Expectations (1861).

Dickens was a passionate advocate for social reform during his lifetime and drew inspiration from his own experiences in his writing. He lived an impoverished childhood, due to his father's debts which led him to work at a blacking warehouse at 12 years old. This experience would later shape the themes of many of Dickens’ novels which often featured stories about impoverished children struggling against oppressive class systems.
