Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens, one of the most widely read English novelists of all time, is renowned for his works that address the delicate subjects of child labor, poverty, and slavery. He drew inspiration for his semi-autobiographical works from his experiences growing up in economic uncertainty. Most of the individuals in his stories are based on real people he met and got to know thanks to his exceptional memory.

Despite being well-known for his political commentaries on the state of affairs in England, his works were well-liked by readers, editors, and publishers. More than 200 motion pictures have been made based on his writings, particularly the early 20th-century film “The Pickwick Papers.”
