Who Was Charles Dickens?
Charles Dickens (1812-1870) is one of the most prolific writers of all time and possibly the most famous author of Victorian Britain.
Dickens was born in Portsmouth and left school young, when his father was thrown in to debtors prison and he needed to financially support the family. Many of Dicken's stories covered the realities of poverty and life for the working classes and reflected his own early life.
What Did Charles Dickens Write?
Most of his novels were published in serial form meaning that they were accessible to poorer people, who would pay a contribution to hear them read.
Famous Characters
Many of the most famous literary characters come from Dicken's stories; Scrooge, Fagin, Miss Havisham, Mr Micawber and many more.
