A shrewd observer of the 19th-century London, Charles Dickens filled his novels with vivid characters from every rung of the social ladder --- bankers and lawyers, clearks and butchers, waifs and criminals. Dickens's striking portrayals of his troubled society made him an influential social critic and champion of the exploited. Dickens drew from his own life in his writing, and the injustices suffered by many of his characters reflect his own painful experiences. The specter of imprisonment haunted Dickens's own childhood.
