Charles Dickens: The Greatest Victorian Novelist
Charles Dickens is one of the best-known writers in the world, and is considered to be the greatest novelist of the Victorian Era. If you live in an English-speaking country, you probably read Great Expectations, Oliver Twist, and A Christmas Carol in school. His work became so popular, it even sparked the creation of the world “Dickensian” to describe his style. So, why is Charles Dickens’ work considered to be so good that it has inspired future generations? And who was the man who created all of these well-known characters?

Charles Dickens - The Early Years | Biography
Charles Dickens must surely be the greatest novelist of the Victorian era.
But he more than just a writer - he was a fierce critic of the social problems of 19th century England and his highlighting of the injustice of child labour led to much needed reforms.
He took delight in poking fun at ineffectual self-serving government departments and the rigid class system with all of its associated greed and moral compromise, whilst telling cracking good stories with memorable characters. He enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime, becoming one of the first literary superstars… complete with his own merchandise
Oh yes… he was also the man who invented Christmas.
But for all his good deeds, charity work and uplifting moral tales, he was also a man with secrets.

Hunted Down! by Charles Dickens
Can perfect manners mask a murderer?
Link to ebook with interesting notes by Tony Walker
https://ko-fi.com/s/f23e8d9b01
In Victorian London, Charles Dickens crafted a tale of calculated evil lurking behind a respectable smile. A gentleman whose perfectly groomed appearance and cultured conversation conceal something far more sinister. In the gaslit streets and elegant drawing rooms, a deadly game unfolds. Someone watches from the shadows - but nothing is quite what it seems.
Dickens knew the dark corners of London, walked with real detectives, studied the faces of criminals. In "Hunted Down," he reveals what he learned about evil wearing a gentleman's mask.
Join me for Dickens's only pure detective story, where appearances can be fatally deceptive.sic detective story every week.

The starving orphan seeking a second helping of gruel. The spinster wasting away in her tattered wedding dress. The stone-hearted miser plagued by the ghost of Christmas past.

Can perfect manners mask a murderer?
Link to ebook with interesting notes by Tony Walker
https://ko-fi.com/s/f23e8d9b01
In Victorian London, Charles Dickens crafted a tale of calculated evil lurking behind a respectable smile. A gentleman whose perfectly groomed appearance and cultured conversation conceal something far more sinister. In the gaslit streets and elegant drawing rooms, a deadly game unfolds. Someone watches from the shadows - but nothing is quite what it seems.
Dickens knew the dark corners of London, walked with real detectives, studied the faces of criminals. In "Hunted Down," he reveals what he learned about evil wearing a gentleman's mask.
