Charles Dickens (1812-1870) is recognized today as the first writer with true global projection.
Dickens created some of the best literary characters of all time and was one of the most important pioneers in the defense of children's rights in England. The fact that he was forced to drop out of school to work in a factory when his father was imprisoned for debts marked him deeply, leading him to make this reality the main theme of some of his works.
Despite the lack of formal education, he was director of the most important literary journal of his time for about 20 years, wrote several novels, hundreds of short stories, essays and articles, as well as fifteen novels. The importance of his work reached such a magnitude that many of his characters are unavoidable references – such as Oliver Twist, Fagin, Ebenezer Scrooge or Miss Havisham – even for those who have never read his books.
Dickens was also a famous orator, very committed to the causes of his time, and a great social agitator who claimed, along with children's rights, the need to create minimally dignified conditions that the era of the Industrial Revolution seemed to want to destroy definitively.
