Charles John Huffam Dickens (February 7 1812–June 9 1870), pen-name "Boz", was an English novelist. During his career Dickens wrote many entertaining works which were immensely popular and displayed his rich imagination and comic genius. Now he is viewed as one of the major novelists of the Victorian era and an important documenter of life in those times.
Later critics, beginning with George Gissing and G.K. Chesterton, championed his mastery of prose, his endless invention of memorable characters and his powerful social sensibilities. Despite this he receives continued criticism from his more rarefied readers, like George Henry Lewes, Henry James, and Virginia Woolf who list faults such as sentimentality, unrealistic events and grotesque charactersA scathing review of Our Mutual Friend by Henry James, 21 December 1865.
The popularity of his novels and short stories during his lifetime and to the present is demonstrated by the fact that none has ever gone out of print. Dickens wrote serialised novels, which was the usual format for fiction at the time, and each new part of his stories would be eagerly anticipated by the reading public. He is regarded by many as the greatest writer of his time.
