Charles Dickens (1812–1870) is often regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian period and is noted for his keen observation of character and society. His novels, replete with a rich tapestry of characters, delve deep into the socioeconomic conditions of 19th-century England. Dickens's literary style is marked by his humorous satire, realism, and acute moral sensibility. His portrayal of the underprivileged and his criticism of social injustice distinguish his work. Born in Portsmouth, Dickens's early life experiences with poverty were to greatly influence his writing, as epitomized in his autobiographical novel 'David Copperfield.' Other significant works include the much-celebrated 'Great Expectations,' the vividly portrayed 'Bleak House,' and the socially critical 'Hard Times.' His work has not only entertained but also educated his readers, addressing issues such as child labor, the plight of the poor, and the flaws of the legal system. Dickens's narrative genius, intricate plots, and prolific output—he penned 15 major novels and numerous shorter works—cemented his status as a literary colossus. 'The Complete Works of Charles Dickens' serves as a testament to his enduring legacy, showcasing his indelible contribution to English literature.
