Charles Dickens (1812-1870)
was born in Hampshire, England, and is considered to be one of the greatest British authors of all time. During his lifetime, he used his great influence to comment on the social wrongs of the Victorian era, particularly those related to the poor in London. In fact, Dickens was no stranger to hardship himself. As a teenager, he was forced to finish school and work in a factory, while his family were in a debtors’ prison. This had a profound effect on Dickens and his later writings. Some of Charles Dickens’ most well-known and loved novels include Oliver Twist (1839), David Copperfield (1850) and A Tale of Two Cities (1859). In Great Expectations, a poor 10-year-old orphan named Pip is confronted by a prisoner. This encounter would have a huge impact on Pip’s future.
