To many, Charles Dickens is the English novelist par excellence. Indeed, part of the significance of Dickens is that he, more than anyone else in the English-speaking world, ensured the triumph of the novel as the most widely read of literary genres. This title brings together all of his major works.

A Christmas Carol, appeared in 1843, David Copperfield in 1850. In later works, such as Bleak House (1853) and Little Dorrit (1857), Dickens's social criticism became more radical and his comedy more savage.
