Introduction.
Oliver Twist, A Christmas Carol, Nicholas Nickleby, David Copperfield, A Tale of Two Cities, and Great Expectations are just a few of the well-known classic books by British author Charles Dickens, who was also a writer, editor, illustrator, and social commentator. Dickens is regarded as one of the 19th century's most significant and influential authors. He has received praise for, among other things, painting a bleak picture of the Victorian underclass and so assisting in social transformation. On February 7, 1812, Charles Dickens (real name Charles John Huffam Dickens) was born in Landport, Portsmouth. John Dickens (1786–1851), a clerk in the Navy Pay Office, and his wife Elizabeth Dickens had eight children, Charles being the second (1789–1863). In 1814, the Dickens family relocated to London, and two years later, they did the same to Chatham, Kent, where Charles spent his formative years. They relocated to Camden Town, a working-class area of London, in 1822 as a result of their financial troubles. Dickens' life's turning point happened when he was 12 years old. In 1824, his father, who struggled with money management and was perpetually in debt, was put in the Marshalsea debtor's jail. Charles was consequently expelled from school and sent to work in a warehouse that handled "blacking" or shoe polish in order to provide for the family. Charles was greatly impacted psychologically and socially by this encounter. He became the most active and powerful working-class voice of his day as a result of getting to know poverty personally. Dickens' father was released from prison a few months later, allowing Charles to resume his studies. At the age of fifteen, his official education came to an end, and he went to work as an office boy for an attorney while taking shorthand lessons at night. He began his career in the courts as a shorthand reporter in 1830 and later worked as a legislative and newspaper reporter. Dickens started submitting essays and short stories to magazines in 1833. Dickens' first story to be printed was titled A Dinner at Popular Walk. In December 1833, it was published in the Monthly Magazine. While working as a newspaper reporter in 1834, he chose the soon-to-be well-known alias Boz. Sketches by Boz, a compilation of short stories that served as Dickens' debut book, was released in 1836. He wed Catherine Hogarth, the Evening Chronicle's editor's daughter, in the same year. Together they had 10 children before they split in 1858. Dickens edited The Daily News, Household Words, and All the Year Round to the end of his life, despite the fact that he was primarily a novelist. He was able to start publishing his own fiction at the start of his career because to his ties to several journals and newspapers. From April 1836 through November 1837, The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club was released in monthly installments. After being published as a book in 1837, Pickwick remained one of the most widely read works of the time. Following the success of Pickwick, Dickens decided to pursue writing novels full-time. He produced works of ever-increasing complexity at an astounding rate, including Oliver Twist (1837–39), Nicholas Nickleby (1838–39), The Old Curiosity Shop, and Barnaby Rudge as part of the Master Humphrey's Clock series (1840–41), all of which were first published as monthly installments before being turned into books.
