Did Charlse Dickens achieve fame as a writer during his lifetime?

Answer 1

Life in London was very hard for Victorians. Even the wealthy, and Dickens was certainly very wealthy, had to slog through muddy, smelly, disgusting roads, step over animal droppings on the sidewalks, utilize rather primitive sanitary devices, and suffer from uncertain heating and nonexistent cooling. His success, starting with Sketches from Boz and Pickwick Papers, gave him the luxury of working when and where he wanted; the means and the interest to travel; and the energy to involve himself in numerous boards, committees and theatre troupes. He worked incredibly hard at a pace almost unheard of then or now, producing approximately a book a year in serial form. Most nights saw him walking the London streets, poking into alleys and cruising river banks; by dawn, he had usually reached his favorite place for breakfast, after which he turned around and walked home.
