Charles John Huffam Dickens, pen-name Boz, was the most popular English novelist of the Victorian era. He was a vigorous social campaigner, both in his own personal endeavours as well as through the recurrent themes of his literary enterprise. Critics George Gissing and G. K. Chesterton championed Dickenss mastery of prose, his endless invention of unique, clever personalities, and his powerful social sensibilities, but fellow writers such as George Henry Lewes, Henry James, and Virginia Woolf faulted his work for sentimentality, implausible occurrences, and grotesque characterizations. The popularity of Dickenss novels and short stories has meant that they have never gone out of print. Many of Dickenss novels first appeared in periodicals and magazines in serialised forma popular format for fiction at the timeand, unlike many other authors who completed entire novels before serial production commenced, Dickens often composed his works in parts, in the order in which they were meant to appear. Such a practice lent his stories a particular rhythm, punctuated by one minor cliffhanger after another, to keep the public looking forward to the next installment. Books:
-- A Christmas Carol
-- A Tale of Two Cities
-- Bleak House
-- David Copperfield
-- Oliver Twist
-- Our Mutual Friend
