Society:

• The Victorian era saw uncertainty and social instability, but it was also a fascinating time from both a social and cultural point of view.
• However, child labour and poverty are linked to the Victorian era. During the Industrial Revolution, many factories were opened in England and orphaned children were needed to work in them, since they were very cheap labour and also, due to their little help, they could enter small holes, and manipulate precision parts.
• During this period, London changed more than at any other time in its own history. Dickens tried to describe Victorian England with precision and detail.

Style:

Dickens's style is flowery and poetic, with a strong comic touch. His satires on the snobbery of the British aristocracy.

Works of  Charles Dickens:
