Charles Dickens (1812–1870), a literary colossus of the Victorian era, remains one of the most seminal English novelists and social critics. His work, renowned for its rich storytelling and memorable characters, has become emblematic of the concerns and moralities of 19th-century life. Dickens's novels frequently highlighted the struggles and injustices faced by the poor and working-class, a reflection of his own early hardships.

The author's style, characterized by its comic genius, incisive satire, and empathy for the common man, shines throughout his prodigious output, including masterpieces like 'Great Expectations,' 'Oliver Twist,' and 'David Copperfield.' Dickens's influence extends beyond literature; his writings have inspired countless adaptations and have had a lasting impact on the English language, with expressions and characters that have embedded themselves into the cultural consciousness.
