Charles Dickens
Who was Charles
   Dickens?

  Charles Dickens was a famous Victorian
   period writer. He was the son of John
    Dickens and Elizabeth Dickens. He
   married Catherine Hogart (who then
   became Catherine Dickens) and they
         had 10 children together.
Why is he so
                           famous?
  Dickens is famous for his creativity and
  genius. He created amazing stories and
people enjoyed his writing. Also in his day
    and age, there weren’t many good
authors, so because of this he was known
throughout Europe and America. Some of
 his more famous novels include A Tale of
 Two Cities, Great Expectations, A Christmas
   Carol, Nicolas Nickleby, Oliver Twist and
              David Copperfield.
When did he
             live?

 Dickens lived in the Victorian period
  from 7th February 1812 - 9th June
  1870. King William IV was in power
 when Dickens was born and Queen
 Victoria was in power from 1837 and
continued until after Dickens had died.
       He died at the age of 58.
Where did he
                live?


  Charles Dickens was born in Portsmouth,
   England, and lived most of his life in and
around London. He probably lived there so his
   novels could easily be sent to stores and
          libraries to sell to people.
What did he
    do?

 When Dickens was 12, his father was put
into debtor’s prison, and so Dickens had to
  work 10 hours a day at Warren’s boot-
blacking factory to pay for his family’s food
and clothes, etc. When his father was finally
   released from the debtor’s prison, his
mother continued to make him work. Later
on, when he was 22, he published articles in
 The Monthly Magazine. After that, he was a
   writer for most of the rest of his life.
How did he become
         famous?

 Dickens became famous by using his
creative genius and writing novels and
short stories. Some of his novels were
    published in weekly or monthly
 editions in newspapers or magazines,
and people anxiously awaited each and
             every edition.
How do people still
           know about him?
    People still know about Charles Dickens
    because he was one of the most famous
authors in the world. People have also found his
books in libraries and households. Some people
say they read Dickens’s books because they tell
 us why we are what we are. People can relate
 to his characters, such as Oliver Twist, always
                 asking for more.
Why are his stories/ novels
so famous/loved/significant?
     Dickens's novels are significant because some
          of his stories are about things that are
        relevant to people. Also, some of them are
        about life in Australia as convicts, and back
     then people didn’t know much about Australia
      and its new creatures. The novels are famous
     and loved because they are written with detail
       and back then they were new and exciting.
     Now, however, they contain language that was
       used two centuries ago, so we can compare
        how our language has changed over time.
