Biography Born in 1812 in Portsmouth Moved to London 1823 Worked in factory (labelling bottles of shoe polish) Father arrested for debt: family moved to Marshalsea Prison Marked for life by these experiences…

Biography First novel (The Pickwick Papers) successful Immediately started publishing Oliver Twist (serial) A Christmas Carol (1843) huge hit In his books, he assaulted the establishment and bureaucracy Stood up for the underprivileged Worked himself to untimely death (1870)

Oliver Twist- summary Born in a workhouse. Mother dies giving birth. Raised in workhouse orphanage by ill-tempered Mrs Corney and Mrs Mann Age of nine: moves to workhouse to work Sold when he asks for more gruel (havermout) Works for Mr Sowerberry (undertaker)

Oliver Twist- summary Flees the undertaker’s after a row Walks to London Picked up by Artful Dodger, and taken in by Fagin, who learns him to be pickpocket Arrested on the first night Mr Brownlow exonerates Oliver and takes him in Treated with sympathy for first time

Oliver Twist- summary Sees portrait in the nurse’s room of a woman who looks just like him Fagin desperate for Oliver’s return (potential informer) Oliver kidnapped by Bill Sikes and Nancy Fagin sends Oliver with Bill for a burglary Oliver is shot Mrs Maylie (housekeeper) takes care of Oliver

Oliver Twist- summary Oliver treated kindly, also by Mrs Maylie’s niece, Rose Oliver spied on by Monks, an agent of Fagin’s Also, Fagin himself spies on Oliver, looking for an opportunity to abduct him Nancy reveals the plans for a new kidnap Bill Sykes clubs Nancy to death

Oliver Twist- summary Fagin arrested in police raid Sykes accidently kills himself while fleeing from his former gang-mates Fagin condemned to death, Artful Dodger goes to prison Brownlow takes custody of Oliver and reveals all: Monks was Oliver’s half-brother

Oliver Twist- summary Oliver inherits his father’s money with a spotless reputation (which is why Monks tried to discredit him) Mr Bumble (of the workhouse) is reduced to the poverty of the workhouse system because of plotting against Oliver Happy ending, but not realistic

The book: style Exaggeration, vivid style, comedy Unbelievable sentimentality Claims to be realistic, but isn’t (too exaggerated) Only mild social criticism: his humour sold books

Good vs evil Original setting: an innocent boy against the forces of evil But Dickens enjoys writing about the criminals too much: detailed descriptions No character development: good remains good, evil remains evil Oliver is always the polite, sweet boy, even in his contacts with evil-doers

Good vs evil Fagin only bad guy for whom reader has little sympathy (rest victim of circumstances) But…sometimes he is a father-figure for the boys

The first chapter We will now read the first chapter, to give you an idea of Dickens’s style of writing.
