Charles Dickens
Charles Dickens was one of the most influential writers of the Victorian era, known for his vivid characters, biting social commentary, and intricate plots. Born in 1812 in Portsmouth, England, Charles experienced the harsh realities of poverty early in life, an experience that deeply influenced his writing.
His novels, including classics like “Great Expectations,” “Oliver Twist,” and “A Christmas Carol,” often highlighted the struggles of the poor and critiqued the social and economic systems of 19th-century England. Charles was not just a novelist but also a prolific journalist and social reformer. His ability to intertwine humor with criticism and empathy with sharp observation made his work beloved around the world.
