Dickens is still Britains top writer Charles Dickens is often thought of as① one of Englands greatest writers. Yet for many his language is old-fashioned and his story plots often improbable. How then to explain Dickens enduring② popularity? One reason undoubtedly is the British governments insistence that every child study a Dickens novel at school. Alongside William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens is a compulsory③ writer on every English literature school reading list. His stories, though often over-long by todays standard，are superbly④ written moral tales. They are filled with colourful characters. But what makes his books stand out⑤ from other English writers is his insight into human nature. Dickens, like Shakespeare, tells us truths about human behaviour that are as true to citizens of the 21st century as they were to his readers in the 19th century. Readers have returned to Dickens books again and again over the years to see what he has to say about readers own time. No surprise then that it was Dickens Britons turned to，during the economic crisis, to make sense of a world rapidly falling apart. The BBC adapted one of his less well-known novels, Little Dorrit, into a popular television drama that introduced many Brits to the novel for the first time. A dark story about greed and money, it was the perfect story to illustrate⑥ the bad times. For as long as Dickens novels have something to say to modern audiences，it seems likely that he will remain one of Britains best loved writers. 知识点击： ①be thought of as 被认为是 ②enduring adj. 持久的 ③compulsory adj. 必读的 ④superbly adv. 非常好地 ⑤stand out 突出，显眼 ⑥illustrate vt. 解说 Module 3　Literature Module 3　Literature Literature Module 3 背 景 e 站 链 接 * * Module 3　Literature Module 3　Literature
