Charles Dickens
English Victorian era author wrote numerous highly acclaimed novels David Copperfield.
He became known the world over for his remarkable characters, his mastery of prose in the telling of their lives,
and his depictions of the social classes, mores and values of his times. Some considered him the spokesman for the
poor, for he definitely brought much awareness to their plight, the downtrodden and the have-nots.
Dickens's novels combine brutality with fairy-tale fantasy; farce, and melodrama.; the ordinary with the strange.
They range through the comic, tender, dramatic, sentimental, grotesque, melodramatic, horrible, eccentric, mysterious.
