Best Answer

All Dickens' works are in the public domain (at least in the US) by now, so no one owns the rights.

Note that this applies only to the original works or editions published before the 1920s. You can't just copy an edition published in, say, 1970.

The copyright to Charles Dickens' works are owned by the estate of Charles Dickens, which includes his descendants and any organizations to which he left the rights. Generally, copyright protection for his works lasts for 70 years after his death.

Copyrights on Jane Austen's original work have long since run out. They are all in the public domain, meaning they belong to everybody or to nobody, depending on how you choose to look at it.
