The impact of this classic, essential contribution to Victorian literature is still being felt today.
With iconic characters like the Artful Dodger, and the titular orphan's famous request for "more," Oliver Twist is the definition of a classic, and shows Dickens at his best: writing about poverty and giving a spotlight to the working class.

Despre autor
Charles Dickens is regarded by many as the greatest novelist of the Victorian Era. Perhaps the most famous author of serialised narratives, Dickens popularised cliffhanger endings; one such cliffhanger, from The Old Curiosity Shop, even led to riots on the docks of New York - so desperate were the public awaiting the fate of their favourite character. He was so influential, the term Dickensian is now used to describe poor social conditions or cartoonishly repulsive characters.
