Charles John Huffam Dickens, FRSA The Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce is a British multi-disciplinary institution, based in London. The name Royal Society of Arts is frequently used for brevity (and on the building's frieze The Royal Society of Arts - see photo). It was founded in 1754 and was granted a Royal Charter in 1847. Notable members (pronounced /ˈtʃɑrlz ˈdɪkɪnz/; 7 February 1812–9 June 1870), pen-name "Boz", was the most popular English Traditionally Christianity, mostly Anglicanism, but also non-conformists and also Roman Catholics (see Catholic Emancipation). Minority Islam, Hinduism, Judaism and others (See Religion in England) novelist of the Victorian era The Victorian era of the United Kingdom was the period of Queen Victoria's reign from June 1837 until her death on the 22nd of January 1901. The reign was a long period of prosperity for the British people, as profits gained from the overseas British Empire, as well as from industrial improvements at home, allowed an educated middle class to, and one of the most popular of all time. He created some of literature's most iconic characters, with the theme of social reform A reform movement is a kind of economic movement that aims to make gradual change, or change in certain aspects of society rather than rapid or fundamental changes. A reform movement is distinguished from more radical social movements such as revolutionary movements running throughout his work. The continuing popularity of his novels and short stories is such that they have never gone out of print An out-of-print book is a book that is no longer being published. Out-of-print books are often rare, and may be difficult to acquire.[1][2]

Much of his work first appeared in periodicals and magazines in serialised The term "serial" refers to the intrinsic property of a series – namely, its order. In literature, the term is used as a noun to refer to a format by which a story is told in contiguous (typically chronological) installments in sequential issues of a single periodical publication form, a popular way of publishing fiction at the time. Other writers would complete entire novels before serial publication commenced, but Dickens often wrote his in parts, in the order they were meant to appear. The practice lent his stories a particular rhythm, punctuated by one "cliffhanger A cliffhanger or cliffhanger ending is a plot device in fiction which features a main character in a precarious or difficult dilemma, or confronted with a shocking revelation. A cliffhanger is hoped to ensure the audience will return to see how the characters resolve the dilemma" after another, to keep the public eager for the next installment.[3]

His work has been praised for its mastery of prose, and for its teeming gallery of unique personalities, by writers such as George Gissing George Robert Gissing was an English novelist who wrote twenty-three novels between 1880 and 1903. From his early naturalistic works, he developed into one of the most accomplished realists of the late-Victorian era. Note that the g in his last name is hard and G. K. Chesterton Gilbert Keith Chesterton was one of the most influential English writers of the 20th century. His prolific and diverse output included journalism, philosophy, poetry, biography, Christian apologetics, fantasy and detective fiction, though the same characteristics have prompted others, such as Henry James Henry James, O.M. – February 28, 1916) was an American author who emigrated to Britain and acquired British nationality shortly before his death. One of the key figures of 19th century literary realism, James was born in the United States, the son of Henry James, Sr., a clergyman, and brother of the philosopher and psychologist William James and and Virginia Woolf Adeline Virginia Woolf was an English novelist, essayist, epistler, publisher, feminist, and writer of short stories, regarded as one of the foremost modernist literary figures of the twentieth century, to criticize him for sentimentality and implausibility.[4]
