Charles Dickens

(1812-1870)

Biography:

E
nglish author Charles Dickens continues to be one of the most widely read Victorian
(nineteenth-century) novelists. Scrooge, David Copperfield, Oliver Twist, and Nicholas
Nickelby remain familiar characters today. His novels describe the life and conditions
of the poor and working class in the Victorian era of England, when people lived by strict
rules.

Charles John Huffam Dickens was born on February 7, 1812, at Portsea (later part of
Portsmouth) on the southern coast of England, to John and Elizabeth Dickens. Charles was
the second born of eight children. His father was a pay clerk in the navy office. Because of
financial difficulties, the family moved about until they settled in Camden Town, a poor
neighborhood in London, England. At the age of twelve Charles worked with working-class
men and boys in a factory that handled "blacking," or shoe polish. While his father was in
debtor's prison, the rest of the family moved to live near the prison, leaving Charles to live
alone. This experience of lonely hardship was the most significant event of his life. It colored
his view of the world and would later be described in a number of his novels.

Charles returned to school when his father received an inheritance and was able to repay his
debts. But in 1827, at age fifteen, he was again forced leave school and work as an office boy.
In the following year he became a freelance reporter and stenographer (using shorthand to
transcribe documents) at the law courts of London. By 1832 he had become a reporter for two
London newspapers and, in the following year, began to contribute a series of impressions
and sketches to other newspapers and magazines, signing some of them "Boz". These scenes
of London life went far to establish his reputation and were published in 1836 as Sketches by
Boz, his first book. On the strength of this success Charles married Catherine Hogarth.
Together they had ten children.

In 1836 Dickens also began to publish The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club in
monthly installments, a form of serial publication that became a standard method of writing
and producing fiction in the Victorian period. So great was Dickens’s success with the
procedure that Pickwick became one of the most popular works of the time, and continued to
be so after it was published in book form in 1837.

After Pickwick's success, Dickens began publishing his new novel, Oliver Twist. He was also
now editor of Bentley's Miscellany, a new monthly magazine. He continued publishing his
novel in his later magazines, Household Worlds and All the Year Round. Oliver Twist
expressed Dickens's interest in the life of the slums to the fullest, as it traced the fortunes of
an innocent orphan through the London streets.

Though Dickens’s career was successful, for the next decade his books did not achieve the
standard of his early successes. These works include: Nicholas Nickleby (1838–1839), The Old
Curiosity Shop (1840–1841), and Barnaby Rudge (1841).

In 1842 Dickens, who was as popular in America as he was in England, went on a five-month
lecture tour of the United States, speaking out strongly against slavery and in support of
other reforms. On his return he wrote American Notes, a book that criticizes American life as
being culturally backward and materialistic (characterized by the desire for wealth and
material goods). His next novel, Martin Chuzzlewit (1843–1844), describes the hero finding
that survival on the American frontier is more difficult than making his way in England.
During the years in which Chuzzlewit appeared, Dickens also published two Christmas
stories, A Christmas Carol and The Chimes.

After a year abroad in Italy and writing Pictures from Italy (1846), Dickens published
installments of Dombey and Son, which continued till 1848. This completed novel established a
new standard in the Dickensian novel and marked the turning point in his career. As its full
title indicates, Dealings with the Firm of Dombey and Son is a study of the influence of the
values of a business society on the personal fortunes of a family and those with whom the
family meets. It takes a somber view of England at mid-century, and its tone becomes
characteristic of Dickens’s future novels.

Dickens’s next novel, David Copperfield (1849–1850), is the first complete record of the typical
course of a young man’s life in Victorian England. This autobiographical novel fictionalized
elements of Dickens’s childhood, his pursuit of a journalism career, and his love life. Though
Copperfield is not Dickens’s greatest novel, it was his personal favorite.

In 1850 Dickens began a new magazine, Household Words. His editorials and articles
touched upon English politics, social institutions, and family life. They also spoke to the
fictional treatment of these subjects in Dickens’s novels. The weekly magazine ran to 1859,
when Dickens began to conduct a new weekly, All the Year Round. In both these periodicals
he published some of his major novels.

The 1850s were a sad and dark time for Dickens. In 1851, within a two-week period,
Dickens's father and one of his daughters died. In 1858, a year after he fell in love with an
actress, he separated from his wife.

Partly in response to the deaths, Dickens’s next series of works were called his "dark" novels,
though they rank among the greatest triumphs of the art of fiction. In Bleak House (1852–
1853), perhaps the most complicated plot of any English novel, the narrative served to create
a sense of the interrelationship of all segments of English society. In Hard Times (1854),
Dickens describes an English industrial town during the height of economic expansion, and
details an up-close view of the limitations of both employers and reformers.

Little Dorrit (1855–1857) may be regarded as Dickens's greatest novel. In it he portrays the
conditions of England as he saw it, and the conflict between the world's harshness and
human values in its most impressive artistic form.

In this period Dickens also began to give public readings from his novels, which became even
more popular than his lectures. In 1859 Dickens published A Tale of Two Cities, a historical
novel of the French Revolution. Besides publishing this novel in the newly founded All the
Year Round, Dickens also published seventeen articles, which appeared as a book in 1860
entitled The Uncommercial Traveller.

Dickens's next novel, Great Expectations (1860–1861), is regarded by some as his most
perfectly executed work of art. It is a story of a young man's moral development from
childhood to adult life. Three years later he produced Our Mutual Friend, which provides an
insight of how he viewed London.

For several years Dickens’s health declined. He never fully recovered from a railroad
accident in 1865. He tired himself out by continuing to travel throughout the British Isles and
America to read before audiences. He gave a final series of readings in London that began in
1870.

Dickens died of a fatal stroke on June 9, 1870, leaving the novel, The Mystery of Edwin Drood,
unfinished. The day of his burial was made a day of national mourning in England.1
