Charles Dickens was a famous English critical realism novelist in the 19th century. He created some of the world's most memorable fictional characters and is generally regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian period. During his life, his works enjoyed unprecedented fame, and by the twentieth century his literary genius was broadly acknowledged by critics and scholars. With time going by, his novels and short stories continue to be widely popular. He had a well-off family in his early years and was once educated in a private school for a period of time, but his parents often banqueted guests and used money without restraint. At the age of 15, he graduated from Wellington College, and then worked into a lawyer line. Later he turned to newspaper, becoming a reporter at the age of 20. Like many others, he began his literary career as a journalist.
Dickens wrote many works in his life, such as the Pickwick Papers, Oliver Twist, A Tale of Two Cities, Great Expectations, David Copperfield,The Old Curiosity Shop and so on. Pickwick Papers was Dickens‟ first big popular success, written when he was only twenty-four years old. His literary style is a mixture of fantasy and realism.
