The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club and Sketches by Boz both appeared in print in 1836 and these made him not only famous but rich, from his very first efforts (a rarity in publishing). In 1837, Oliver Twist appeared and this added to Dickens' huge following and noteriety.

According to Europe 1789-1914: Encyclopedia of the Age of Industry and Empire, in 1836 Charles Dickens began publishing a weekly serial publication of The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club. This publication was very successful, solidifying Dickens's fame. The Gale Contextual Encyclopedia of World Literature states that The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club was one of the most popular works of the time. I found both of these encyclopedia references through Gale Virtual Reference Library, which is only available through library subscriptions. Please check if your local library subscribes. Even if they don't, they may have similar tools that are just as useful.
