Charles Dickens is considered one of the universal and highest talents of English Literature. His novels are a dramatic and ironic portrait of the Victorian Society, analyzed and criticized through the use of flat characters and a reinterpretation of realistic environments.
Some of his main themes are the exploitation of children's labour, the awful conditions of workers in factories, the alienation of industrial cities, the injustice of the penal code and the selfishness and greed of the upper middle class.
