Dickens – the
greatest English
realist
Dickens’s life
(1) Charles was exceptionally bright and
articulate.
(2) The boy had a little primary
education.
(3) At the age of 12, young Charles had
to work at a shoe-blacking factory.
(4) He became a Parliamentary reporter
for newspapers.
Even now, famous and caressed and
happy, I often forget in my dreams
that I have a dear wife and children;
even that I am a man; and wander
desolately back to that time of my
life.
Charles Dickens
A letter to his friend
“No words can express the secret
agony of my soul as I sunk into this
companionship; compared these
henceforth everyday associates with
those of my happier childhood - not to
say with Steerforth, Traddles, and the
rest of those boys; and felt my hopes
of growing up to be a learned and
distinguished man, crushed in my
bosom.”
-- David Copperfield
Dickens’s life
Dickens liked to stroll in the streets of
London and was a careful observer – he
published his first work Sketches by Boz,
in 1836.
Dickens’s literary career
The First Period (1836-1841):
Fun, high spirit, and a tendency
even to literary boisterous play –
alternating sometimes with spells of
sentimentality – strikes the
dominant note.

Papers –what
makes Dickens
become the most
popular living
novelist of his day
Oliver Twist
Nicholas Nickleby
The Old Curiosity Shop
Second Period (1842- 1850):
Dickens’s naïve optimism about
capitalist society was thus profoundly
shaken. His social criticism became
deeper and more powerful.
