Charles John Huffam Dickens ( 7 February 1812 – 9 June 1870) was an English novelist, generally considered the greatest of the Victorian period. Dickens enjoyed unrivaled popularity and fame during his career, and he remains popular, being responsible for some of English literature's most iconic novels and characters.
Many of his writings were originally published serially, in monthly installments or parts, a format of publication which Dickens himself helped popularize at the time. Unlike other authors who completed entire novels before serialisation, Dickens often created the episodes as they were being serialised. The continuing popularity of his novels and short stories is such that they have never gone out of print.
Dickens' work has been highly praised for its realism, comedy, mastery of prose.
