 Charles Dickens is one of the great British authors, he was
the most popular English novelist of the Victorian era, and his books are as captivating today as they were
when they originally were written.
In the nineteenth century, when Great Britain was one of the most important economic and political powers
worldwide, Charles Dickens documented in his books the life of the poor and disadvantaged paet
of the population in the British empire, in short he was the 'spokesman' for the forgotten part of the population.
Through work as a journalist (with pen-name "Boz"),and through his writings he highlighted specific problem
issues like i.e the poor sanitation and the workhouse. Even though he chose fiction as the medium to
transport his views, these books probably did even more to change the public opinion about the rampant
class inequalities.

the poor population and he regularly condemned the inefficient and inhuman public officials and institutions
