Quelques mots sur l'auteur
Charles Dickens (1812–1870) is revered as one of the greatest novelists of the Victorian era, whose works remain eminent for their narrative vigor, keen social observation, and piercing critique of societal ills. Born in Portsmouth, England, Dickens rose from humble beginnings to become a towering literary figure, his life's trajectory mirroring some of the rags-to-riches tales depicted in his fiction. His novels, many of which were first serialized in periodicals, captured the imagination of readers with their vivid characters and intricate plots. Notably, while '60 Gothic Classics' is not a work singularly authored by Dickens, his contributions to the gothic genre cannot be overlooked. His flair for the grotesque and the supernatural is palpable in tales like 'The Signal-Man' and elements within his larger works, such as 'Great Expectations' and 'Bleak House'. Dickens's literary style is characterized by its rich, descriptive prose, its use of irony and humor, and its unfailing empathy for the underprivileged. His exploration of social issues, from poverty to child labor, not only entertained but also ignited reformist agendas. Dickens's enduring legacy as a literary virtuoso has ensured his place in the pantheon of the English literary tradition. His works continue to be studied for their artistic merit and their profound humanity.
