Charles Dickens

Transcript: Charles Dickens The English author Charles John Huffam Dickens (1812-1870) was, and probably still is, the most widely read Victorian novelist. He is now appreciated more for his "dark" novels than for his humorous works. The sociological effect of the blacking factory on Dickens was to give him a firsthand acquaintance with poverty and to make him the most vigorous and influential voice of the lower classes in his age. Despite the fact that many of England's legal and social abuses were in the process of being removed by the time Dickens published his exposés of them, it remains true that he was the most widely heard spokesman of the need to alleviate the miseries of the poor.

Charles Dickens

Transcript: He must find a way to convince the rich people.He must show that the poor people had now good life and that the rich man should do something to.He did this by writing about the poor people. Charles John Huffham Dickens doesn't like that. He found that the poor also should have equal rights. Dickens was also poor, he taught himself many. -What were his ideals? Dickens lived in the industrial revolution. He loved London. London, a place of extreme wealth and appalling misery, it was his muse with whom he had a love-hate affair. The people where quickly rich or arm and as someone once was poor, he remained poor. Dickens was a migrant, just as David Copperfield or Pip (Great Expectations). To be a true Londoner, must man be born within the sound from the church bells of St. Mary-le-Bowkerk. 2) Charles Dickens -What aspects of his life can we see back in ‘Great Expectations’?
