Charles Dickens (1812-1870) was an English novelist and social critic, widely considered one of the greatest writers of the Victorian era. He is renowned for his vivid characters, memorable storytelling, and keen observations of society and human nature. Dickens's works, including classics like "Oliver Twist," "A Christmas Carol," "David Copperfield," and "Great Expectations," often highlight the struggles of the poor and critique social injustices. His ability to combine humor, satire, and a deep empathy for the underprivileged has left a lasting legacy in English literature.
