About Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens is one of the most iconic authors in English literature. Born in Portsmouth, England in 1812, he was the second of eight children and attended school until his father’s financial struggles lead to him being sent off to work at a factory at age 12. Though his time there was brief, it inspired much of his later writing. His first novel, The Pickwick Papers (1836-37) propelled him into literary fame and he went on to become a successful novelist.

His works often draw on themes of poverty, injustice and oppression which were prevalent during the Victorian era. Some of his best-known works include Oliver Twist (1838), A Christmas Carol (1843), David Copperfield (1850) and Great Expectations (1861). Find out more about Charles Dickens.
