About The Author
Charles Dickens
Charles John Huffam Dickens (1812-1870) was born in Portsmouth, Hampshire, England. In 1824, his father was imprisoned for debt, so Charles was sent to work in a shoe-dye factory. He later became a clerk in a law firm, a shorthand reporter in the courts, and a parliamentary and newspaper reporter. In 1833, Dickens began to contribute short stories and essays to periodicals, heralding the start of a glittering and prolific literary career. He married Catherine Hogarth in 1836, with whom he had nine surviving children before they separated in 1858. Dickens died suddenly at home on 9 June 1870, leaving behind an internationally acclaimed canon of work, including:
- Oliver Twist (1837)
- Nicholas Nickleby (1838)
- David Copperfield (1849-50)
- Bleak House (1852-53)
- Little Dorrit (1855-57)
- A Tale of Two Cities (1859)
- Great Expectations (1860-61)
- Our Mutual Friend (1864-65)
He was buried in Westminster Abbey, London, England.
