Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens was an extraordinarily popular writer of the Victorian Period, which spanned the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901). Arguably the most influential novelist of the nineteenth century (Jane Austen notwithstanding), Dickens is best known for his memorable characters and intricate plots. Think about the twists and turns of your favorite movie or television show. It probably owes a lot to Dickens’s innovative craft, which mixed realism with caricature and tragedy with comedy.
