Charles Dickens (1812-1870), an emblematic figure of Victorian literature, remains one of the most influential British authors of the 19th century. Born in Portsmouth, England, Dickens emerged from a tumultuous childhood to become a preeminent writer, known for his acute social commentary and memorable characters. His work transcends the novel form, serving as a lens through which the social and economic disparities of the industrial age are vividly depicted. Notably, Dickens”s novels often appeared in serialized form, making literature more accessible to the burgeoning middle class. While „Cruikshank”s Water Colours” does not directly pertain to his extensive bibliography, Dickens”s contributions to literature include classics such as „Oliver Twist” (1838), „David Copperfield” (1849-1850), and „Great Expectations” (1860-1861), amongst many others. His literary style, characterized by rich narrative, sharp satire, and a focus on both grim realities and redemptive possibilities, has left an indelible mark on the literary landscape. With an oeuvre that has been adapted countless times for stage and screen, Dickens”s legacy has not only shaped the world of literature but also continues to resonate across mediums and generations.
