About Charles Dickens
Charles John Huffam Dickens (1812–1870) was an English writer and journalist. Many readers consider him the finest novelist the Victorian age produced, and the characters he invented remain among the most recognizable in all of literature.
Few authors have matched the popularity Dickens enjoyed while he was alive, and his reputation only grew after his death: by the twentieth century, scholars and critics ranked him as a literary genius. His books — among them A Christmas Carol, Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, Great Expectations, and A Tale of Two Cities — continue to find wide audiences today.
Dickens was married to Catherine Dickens and was honored as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
