เกี่ยวกับผู้แต่ง
Charles Dickens (1812–1870) was a towering figure in the world of English literature, renowned for his deft storytelling, vivid characters, and keen social commentary. Born into a modest family in Portsmouth, Dickens saw his fortunes change drastically when his family moved to London and then fell into financial difficulty. These early experiences with social inequality would greatly influence his later work. Noted for his serialized novels, including classics such as ‘Oliver Twist’ (1837–1839), ‘David Copperfield’ (1849–1850), and ‘Great Expectations’ (1860–1861), Dickens was adept at combining humor, pathos, and irony to critique the societal ills of Victorian England. Although ‘The Jolly Roger Boxed-Set’ seems an outlier and possibly not a genuine work attributable to Dickens, as it is not widely recognized among his celebrated bibliography, elements of piracy and adventure can be found within his vast array of narratives that often explore the human condition. His literary style is marked by his narrative prowess, unforgettable characterizations, and a mastery of prose that has made his works enduring staples in literature classrooms and among readers around the world. Dickens’ influence on the English novel is incalculable, and his works remain as relevant today as they were in his own time.
