Charles Dickens (1812 - 1870) was an English novelist, journalist, novelist and social critic. He created some of literature's best-known characters and is considered by many to be the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime, and by the 20th century, critics and scholars recognized him as a literary genius. His novels and short stories are widely read today. Many of them have been adapted for film, theatre and opera.
