About the Author - End of Schooldays | Gem's English Reader (Silver Jubilee Edition) | Class 6 Literature | English
Charles Dickens (1812-1870) is one of the preeminent novelists in English literature, noted for his vivid characters, detailed descriptions of Victorian Era life, and sharp social commentary. Often focusing on narratives that centre on young boys, many of his novels depict the lives of the underprivileged and the poor, earning him the reputation as the 'spokesman for the poor'. His first full-length novel, 'The Pickwick Papers', gained him immediate fame. Most of Dickens's novels, including the renowned 'David Copperfield', were initially serialized in monthly magazines before being published as books, a practice common in the 19th century. Despite his death over a century ago, Dickens's works continue to be widely read and studied for their literary merit and their depiction of social issues.
