Who knows the introduction of Dickens and his works?

Charles Dickens

British writer. Born in the suburb of Portsmouth on February 7th, 2002, 18 1870 died in Gateshill near Rochester on June 9th.

When I was a teenager, I had to go to school intermittently because of the embarrassment of family life. Later, he was forced to work as a child laborer in the factory. /kloc-After 0/5 years old, he worked as an apprentice, clerk and court recorder in a law firm. At the age of 20, he began to work as a newspaper reporter, covering the House of Commons. 1836, Potts Essays was published, which is a close-up collection describing daily life in the streets and lanes of London. In the same year, the serial novel The Story of Pickwick was published one after another, which caused a sensation after several issues. This is a humorous work in the form of a vagrant novel, which reflects the real life in Britain in the form of cartoons. After the initial success of The Biography of Pickwick, Dickens married Catherine and wrote a series of novels.

He wrote 13 half novels in his life, most of which are masterpieces of nearly one million words, more than 20 novellas, hundreds of short stories, feature collections 1 department, 2 long travel notes, British children's history 1 department, and a large number of speeches, letters, essays and miscellaneous poems. He traveled and lived in continental Europe many times and visited the United States twice. After middle age, he founded two periodicals, Household Stories and All Seasons of the Year, and discovered and trained a group of new writers.

Dickens lived and wrote in the middle of19th century and the early Victorian era. Dickens' life activities and creations always keep up with the trend of the times. He mainly exposed the hypocrisy, greed, meanness and cruelty of the upper class and the bourgeoisie with realistic brushstrokes, showed the tragic situation of the lower class, especially women, children and the elderly, with indignation and deep sympathy, and described the struggle of the awakening working people with a serious and prudent attitude. At the same time, he eulogized the truth, goodness and beauty in human nature with idealism and romanticism, and looked forward to a more reasonable society and a better life.

Dickens' early novels are magnificent, popular and fluent, humorous and full of sentimental sentiment, in which the exposure and criticism of society are generally limited to local systems and fields. Such as Oliver Twist, Nicholas Nicholby, Old Antique Shop, Martin Zhu Schulwitt, A Christmas Carol, etc.

Since Dombey and Son, Dickens' creation has become more mature. Through the relationship between Mr Dombey, his son Paul and his daughter Florence, this novel discusses the erosion of human nature by economic potential, and reflects the writer's anxiety about the future of human society. David copperfield, Dickens' important masterpiece, further explores the struggle course of life. It is autobiographical, and it is a long scroll of the middle and lower classes in England in the middle of19th century. David, the hero, is a model of middle-class youth who struggled for kindness and insisted on justice in society at that time. Bleak House, Hard Times and Little Li Du are three important works with strong political consciousness. Bleak House reveals the darkness of British legal system and judicature with complicated plots. Hard Times directly describes the strike struggle, which is a response to the British constitutional movement. Little Li Du describes the debtor's prison life in detail, and at the same time exposes the redundancy and decay of British bureaucracy and system in greater depth.

Dickens' later works clearly reflect the deepening of creative theme, the maturity of skills and the exploration in many aspects. Great Expectations can be regarded as the opposite of david copperfield, but the exploration of life path has more practical and warning significance, and the author's optimism in his early years is obviously reduced. Pip, the hero, is also an orphan, but he can't stand the temptation of the environment and loses his original simple nature. After experiencing severe hardships, he repented and started a new life, and the whole novel was more concise in structure. Our Friends is another critical novel that goes deep into the society. The exploration of human nature and philosophy of life contained in it are more profound, and the symbolism and detective novel techniques used in the works add to its artistic charm. Dickens' last novel, The Mystery of Edwin Druid, has only completed 23 chapters, from which we can see that it is elegant in writing, rigorous in conception, full of suspense and mysterious and attractive.

Among Dickens' novels, the early Barnabe Raj and the later A Tale of Two Cities are historical novels. "Barnabe Raj" is set in the Gordon riots of English Puritans against Catholic rule at the end of 18. A Tale of Two Cities is set in the French Revolution. The two novels also have obvious irony and vigilance, aiming to show that unreasonable system and rule will inevitably lead people to rise up and resist, and the rising masses (called "mobs" by Dickens) will be like a scourge, which will be out of control and form huge irrational destructive power. These two novels undoubtedly represent Dickens' reformist stance and pessimistic view of history, and Sidney Kalden in A Tale of Two Cities sacrificed her life for the happiness of the woman she loved, which is the embodiment of Dickens' highest moral ideal and the finale of noble sentiments repeatedly praised in his novels. From the vivid descriptions and gripping plots of these two novels, we can find the obvious influence of the historical novelist Scott. Especially A Tale of Two Cities has always been regarded as one of Dickens' best novels, because of its elegant and profound brushwork, simple and perfect structure, numerous suspense settings and creative exploration of life philosophy and subconscious activities of characters.

Dickens, an influential writer, is the most outstanding representative writer in the prosperous period of English novels in the19th century, with all-encompassing contents, elegant and popular styles and rich types. His works and various popular, children's books and entertainment programs evolved from these works are widely spread all over the world. In China, as early as the early 20th century, Lin Shu and others translated Dickens' novels, and many outstanding masterpieces were translated into Chinese.
