लेखक के बारे में
Charles Dickens (1812-1870) was an English writer and social critic, who is regarded as one of the greatest novelists of the Victorian era. His works enjoy enduring popularity, characterized by his incisive satire, keen observation of character and society, and his imaginative storytelling abilities. Although ’60 Gothic Classics’ is not a work directly authored by Dickens, it is an anthology that often includes his works that contain Gothic elements, such as ‘Great Expectations’ and ‘A Tale of Two Cities’. Dickens’s writings reflect his concern with social reform and the harsh realities of 19th-century England, intertwined with an element of supernatural and horror, which justifies his presence in Gothic compilations. His work is distinguished by its vigorous prose, its humor, its poignant criticism of the socioeconomic conditions of his time, and its memorable characters. Dickens’s literary oeuvre includes notable works such as ‘Oliver Twist’, ‘David Copperfield’, and ‘Bleak House’, each rich with themes of poverty, industrialization, and the struggle between innocence and corruption. Known for his serialized novels—which also elucidated his unique ability to engage directly with his readership—Dickens has left an indelible mark on literature, influencing countless writers and remaining a pillar within the English literary canon.
