关于作者
Charles Dickens (1812–1870) was a luminary of English literature, famed for his vivid storytelling and richly detailed characters. Born in Portsmouth, England, Dickens rose from his humble beginnings and challenging childhood to become one of the most recognized authors of the Victorian era. His works often juxtaposed the struggles of the poor against the complacency of the rich, offering sharp social commentary on the disparities of the time. Though ‘Into Eternal Darkness: 100+ Gothic Classics in One Edition’ does not seem to align with Dickens’s known oeuvre ––which includes canonical novels such as ‘Oliver Twist’ (1838), ‘David Copperfield’ (1850), ‘Bleak House’ (1853), ‘Great Expectations’ (1861), and ‘A Tale of Two Cities’ (1859) –– his literary style exhibited elements of Gothic fiction. This is particularly evident in the haunting atmospheres of ‘Bleak House’ and the ghostly themes of ‘A Christmas Carol’ (1843). Dickens’s narrative prowess and mastery of prose have firmly entrenched his works in the annals of classic literature, influencing countless writers and continuing to captivate readers worldwide.
