Dickens 18 12 was born in Portsmouth, England. He is the second child of John Dickens and Elizabeth Barlow, naval staff officers. Dickens' family moved to Jenson when he was five years old, and moved to Camden Town (now London) when he was 10 years old.

Dickens was well-off in his early years. When he was a child, he received a period of education in a private school. However, his parents often feast for guests, and his money is unrestrained. At the age of 65,438+02, Dickens' father went to prison for debt problems, and the family moved to his cell with his father. Dickens was therefore sent to a shoe and oil factory in London as an apprentice, working 65,438+00 hours a day. Perhaps it is because of this experience that Dickens' works pay more attention to the living conditions of working people in the bottom society. In the novel david copperfield, I described my experience.

However, because his father inherited an inheritance and his family's economic situation improved, Dickens had the opportunity to return to school. 15 years old, graduated from Wellington College, then worked in a law firm, then transferred to a newspaper, and became a reporter at the age of 20. Dickens didn't have much formal education, and he basically taught himself.

Dickens later became a parliamentary reporter for the Morning Post, covering policy debates in the British House of Commons. He often traveled around Britain and covered various election activities. He began to publish articles in various journals, and finally collected and published "Boz Notes", which was his first collection of essays. But what really made him famous was The Story of Pickwick published by 1836. The book describes the social problems in urban and rural England at that time through a series of experiences of Pickwick and three friends traveling abroad. At first, the book didn't attract much attention. In the first year, it only sold 500 copies. By the spring of 1837, "The Story of Pickwick" had become a hot topic in British society.

Dickens' hard work, heavy labor and disappointment with the reality of reform have seriously damaged his health. 1On June 9th, 870, Dickens died of cerebral hemorrhage, and his first detective novel, The Mystery of Edwin Druid, was still unfinished on his deathbed. After his death, he was buried in the Poet's Corner of Westminster Abbey. His tombstone reads: "He is a sympathizer of the poor, suffering and oppressed people; His death deprived the world of a great English writer. "
