What did Charles Dickens invent?

Answer 1

Although Charles Dickens didn't invent like, for example, Edison invented, he was a leader in a couple of important areas. He was the first author to agressively advocate copyright laws to protect writers' work from plagarism or outright theft. He was one of the first men (outside the clergy) to actively work on behalf of prostitutes and orphans. He was the first to publish a book whose chapters were each written by different authors, while maintaining the plot and characters. He invented hundreds of characters that have lived for almost 200 years. He invented the "Dickensian" writing style, which writers have attempted to copy since 1836.

Answer 2

Charles Dickens did not invent anything. He was a famous British author known for writing classic novels such as "Oliver Twist", "Great Expectations", and "A Christmas Carol".
