Charles Dickens…
◦ Charles Dickens belongs to the Victorian age. He was undoubtedly
the greatest of the age.
◦ Dickens wrote novels with a purpose. He was a great social reformer
and his novels belong entirely, to the humanitarian movement of the
age.
◦ He himself had struggled a lot for livelihood. He belonged to a lower
middle-class family. He knew the slums and streets of London.
◦ His novels can bring food of tears in the readers’ eyes because he can
give a real picture of the miseries of life.
Charles Dickens…
◦ Dickens was a great humorist. Humor is the soul of his work. As
humorist he stands supreme among English novelists and his place is
next to Shakespeare.
◦ There are nearly a hundred characters in ‘Pickwick Papers’ alone and
nearly all of theme are comic.
◦ His humor is creative and broad, satirical as well as sympathetic. He
despised hypocrisy, vanity and greed.
His works…
The Pickwick Papers (1837)
Oliver Twist (1838)
David Copperfield (1850)
A Tale of Two Cities(1859)
Great Expectations (1861)
The Pickwick Papers (1837)
◦The story follows Samuel Pickwick and three
other members of The Pickwick Club as they
travel throughout the English countryside by
coach observing the phenomena of life and
human nature, and recording their experiences
for the other members of The Pickwick Club.
Oliver Twist (1838)
◦ When 9-year-old orphan Oliver Twist (John Howard Davies)
dares to ask his cruel taskmaster, Mr. Bumble (Francis L.
Sullivan), for a second serving of gruel, he's hired out as an
apprentice. Escaping that dismal fate, young Oliver falls in
with the street urchin known as the Artful Dodger (Anthony
Newley) and his criminal mentor, Fagin (Alec Guinness).
When kindly Mr. Brownlow (Henry Stephenson) takes Oliver
in, Fagin's evil henchman Bill Sikes (Robert Newton) plots to
kidnap the boy.
David Copperfield (1850)
◦The story follows the life of David Copperfield from
childhood to maturity. David was born in Blunder
stone, Suffolk, England, six months after the death of
his father. David spends his early years in relative
happiness with his loving, childish mother and their
kindly housekeeper, Clara Peggotty. They call him
Davy.
A Tale of Two Cities(1859)
◦‘A Tale of Two Cities’ is a stirring historical novel
based on Carlyle’s ‘The French Revolution’. It is
remarked for its vivid scene of Paris at the time.
The two memorable characters are Madame
Defarge and Sydney carton, the reckless English
barrister who sacrifices his own life to save the life
of his dream lady’s husband.
Great Expectations (1861)
◦ Pip, a young orphan living with his sister and her husband in the
marshes of Kent, sits in a cemetery one evening looking at his
parents' tombstones. Suddenly, an escaped convict springs up
from behind a tombstone, grabs Pip, and orders him to bring him
food and a file for his leg irons.
◦ Great Expectations follows the childhood and young adult years of
Pip a blacksmith's apprentice in a country village. He suddenly
comes into a large fortune (his great expectations) from a
mysterious benefactor and moves to London where he enters high
society.
Conclusion…
◦ Thus, Dickens was a great story teller of the Age.
◦ His fame was not confined to England. He was as popular as in his
home country.
◦ To quote David Cecil, “He is the one novelist of his school whose
books have not grown at all dusty on the shelves, whose popularity
has suffered no sensible decline. He is not only the most famous of
the Victorian novelist, he is the most typical”
