Charles Dickens (1812–1870) was one of Britain's most celebrated novelists, known for his vivid characters, sharp social commentary, and unforgettable storytelling. Rising from a difficult childhood marked by poverty and factory work, he transformed his experiences into novels that exposed the injustices of Victorian society. His works—Oliver Twist, A Christmas Carol, David Copperfield, Bleak House, and many others—enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime, and he remains one of the most influential writers in the English language, beloved for his humour, compassion, and dramatic flair.
