Dickens was born on February 7, 1812, the son of a clerk at the Navy Pay Office. This childhood poverty and feelings of abandonment, although unknown to his readers until after his death, would be a heavy influence on Dickens' later views on social reform and the world he would create through his fiction.
His novels include : Great Expectations, David Copperfield, The Adventures of Oliver Twist, The Pickwick Papers, A Christmas Carol.
Dickens would go on to write 15 major novels and countless short stories and articles before his death on June 9, 1870. He wished to be buried in a small cemetery in Rochester, but the Nation would not allow it. He was laid to rest in Poet's Corner, Westminster Abbey.
