Dickens
Since the coronation of Queen Victoria in 1837, until his death in 1901, it was a time of social transformation that
forced writers to take positions on issues more immediate. Despite strong social criticism that arose
in many of his works, Queen Victoria was a fan of Dickens.
Charles Dickens was born at Landport, in Portsea, on February 7, 1812, . He was an English novelist, generally
considered the greatest of the victorian period.
Dickens enjoyed a wider popularity and fame than had any previous author during his
lifetime, and he remains popular, having been responsible for some of English literature's
most iconic novels and characters.
He went to Rome Lane School, and he studied culture at William Gile school. Finally Charles got a degree
in Oxford

ABOUT ONE OF THEM.ABOUT ONE OF THEM. I think Charles Dikend is one of the most
important writers of history and for that reason even today he is regarded as a great novelist.
The book that I like most is "A Christmas Carol" because Charles tells the story of a man very stingy and selfish. But the three ghosts of Christmas make him a
visit and change his way of being. Finally the old stingy man becomes a very generous and
kind person.
