Introduction
Charles Dickens was a renowned English writer and social critic, widely regarded as one of the greatest novelists of the Victorian era. He was born on February 7, 1812, in Portsmouth, England, to John and Elizabeth Dickens. His father worked as a clerk in the Navy Pay Office and struggled financially, often landing the family in debt. This early exposure to poverty and social injustice would later influence Dickens’ writing.
Dickens began his writing career as a journalist and later published his first novel, “The Pickwick Papers,” in 1836, which quickly became a sensation. He went on to write some of his most famous works, including “Oliver Twist,” “David Copperfield,” “Great Expectations,” and “A Tale of Two Cities.” These novels often tackled themes of social inequality, poverty, and the struggles of the working class.
Despite his immense success as a writer, Dickens suffered from various health problems throughout his life. He died on June 9, 1870, at the age of 58, after suffering a stroke. He was buried at Westminster Abbey in London, where his legacy as one of the most influential and beloved authors in English literature continues to be celebrated to this day. here are the Charles Dickens Quotes.
