Like Charles. Do Dickens writers write popular novels at the beginning, and then they count as literature?

The first time I heard a joke told by samuel fuller was in a documentary about his life and works: Balzac and Dumas both went to the opera, and just arrived at the theater, they bumped into each other outside. They greet each other, kiss like French, and then sit down separately.

"That bastard," Balzac said. "If only I could sell as many books as he does." "That bastard," Du Masi said. "If only I could write like him."

The only thing all writers have in common is that they all want to tell stories. Besides, everyone has his own influence and ambition. Many times, just like Balzac and Du Masi in jokes, their ambitions don't always match their final career, or they do something better. But there are also a few people, especially those blessed by the Muse, who have written well-known and widely told stories, which are well-made and have literary value-the two are not mutually exclusive.

About the specific author mentioned in the question:

Dickens' main personal ambition, at least in the beginning, was to be famous. Considering his (lack of) education and low class background, his best chance is to meet the continuous demand for comic content, which is aimed at the (recently developed) educated middle class. This is also the reason why his novels are very long, and there are suspense at the end of each chapter. The plot "taken from the headlines" reflects the social changes brought about by urbanization and industrialization.

If his goal was to create "pure" literature, he would write poems like Tennyson and his contemporary Browning. However, his skills and art need to be put into his story to some extent, in order to improve him beyond other writers' shoddy Victorian movies, so this is not true. He is not writing literary works, but trying to write popular literature, which will make him rich and famous.

Similarly, Dostoevsky is writing and publishing a series of articles for the developing middle class. However, the political climate of tsarist Russia highlights the seriousness of his literary efforts and the role of books in spreading human thoughts. He was almost executed and finally sent to the gulag concentration camp for circulating banned books. )

Of these three people, Lawrence's view of his works may be the closest to that of a "pure artist", but he really needs to earn money by writing and try to escape from the shackles of Britain.
