Why is Charles Dickens important?

Answer 1

Charles Dickens was hugely popular in the Victorian age; many people read his books and were anxious to read more! He especially had an impact on Christmas, and actually made it one of the most commercial holidays there is with his novel A Christmas Carol. I even recall reading somewhere that a child once said when Charles Dickens died, "Does that mean that Father Christmas is dead, too?" Which shows how closely related Charles Dickens was to what we know today.

Answer 2

Charles Dickens is important for his contributions to literature, particularly for his social commentary and vivid characterizations in novels like "Oliver Twist" and "Great Expectations." He also played a key role in raising awareness about the social issues of his time, such as poverty and inequality. Dickens' works continue to be studied and admired for their relevance and lasting impact.

Answer 3

Dickens revived and embellished ancient Christmas rituals and traditions that had fallen into disuse. He practically re-invented Christmas as we know it, and many of his contributions--A Christmas Carol, for example--are an annual staple of the celebration, without which the season would seem lackluster.

Answer 4

Charles Dickens is an important literary figure because he wrote many great works that were popular in his time as serials, and are considered timeless classics today, translated into many different languages. These works include: David Copperfield Great Expectations Oliver Twist A Christmas Carol A Tale of Two Cities
