Giới thiệu về tác giả

Charles Dickens, born on February 7, 1812, in Portsmouth, England, is one of the most acclaimed English novelists of the Victorian era known for his vivid characters and depictions of social reform. Dickens’s early experiences of financial hardship and work in a blacking factory during his childhood imbued him with a deep sympathy for the lower classes and informed his writing’s persistent social commentary. His literary style, which combines poignant drama, humor, and sharp observations, forged new narrative techniques that continue to influence writers to this day. In ‘A Child’s History of England’ (1851-1853), Dickens takes on a historical narrative, engagingly retelling England’s story to the younger audience. Although less well known than his narrative masterpieces such as ‘A Tale of Two Cities’ and ‘Great Expectations’, this work exemplifies his penchant for compelling storytelling. His other notable works, such as ‘Oliver Twist’ and ‘David Copperfield’, provide not only critical insight into the social issues of his time but also a timeless humanist perspective. Dickens’s gift of creating memorable characters and settings revolutionized the serial publication of novels, enriching the literary canon. His death on June 9, 1870, left behind an enduring legacy, with his novels continuing to be read and admired for their narrative genius and pursuit of social justice.
