For anyone wishing to read the works of the great Charles Dickens, <i>Oliver Twist</i> should be top of the list. The novel cemented Dickens' growing reputation as a writer, continuing with the themes that readers expected of him - poverty, desperation and heroism in the face of adversity.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>The iconic and much-loved <b>Charles Dickens</b> was born in 1812 in Portsmouth, though he spent much of his life in Kent and London. A prolific writer, Dickens kept up a career in journalism as well as writing short stories and novels, with much of his work being serialised before being published as books. He gave a view of contemporary England with a strong sense of realism, yet instilled his stories with a sense of charm, fantastic characters and humour like no other. He continued to work himself hard up until his death in 1870, leaving 'The Mystery of Edwin Drood' unfinished. <p/><b>Judith John</b> (glossary) is a writer and editor specializing in literature and history. She has worked as an editor on major educational projects, including English A: Literature for the Pearson International Baccalaureate series. Judith's major research interests include Romantic and Gothic literature, and Renaissance drama.
