第十一课Chales Dickens
Charles Dickens(1812-1870) Charles Dickens is one of the greatest critical realist writer of the Victorian Age. Charles Dickens is a master story-teller. I.His Personal Life Charles Dickens (1812-1870) was born at Portsmouth. His father, a poor clerk in the Navy Pay office, was put into the Marsalsea Prison for debt when young Charles was only 12 years old. The son had to give up schooling to work in an underground cellar at a shoe-blacking factory - a position he considered most humiliating. We find the bitter experiences of that suffering child reflected in many of Dickenss novels. In 1827, Charles entered a lawyers office, and two years later he became a Parliamentary reporter for newspapers. From 1833 Dickens began to write occasional sketches of London life, which were later collected and published under the title Sketches by Boz (1836). Soon The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club (1836-1837) appeared in monthly installments. And since then, his life became one of endless hard work. In his later years, he gave himself to public readings of his works, which brought plaudits and comfort but also exhausted him. In 1870, this man of great heart and vitality died of overwork, leaving his last novel unfinished. II. His Major Works Upon his death, Dickens left to the world a rich legacy of 15 novels and a number of short stories. They offer a most complete and realistic picture of English society of his age and remain the highest achievement in the 19th-century English novel. In nearly all his novels, behind the gloomy pictures of oppression and poverty, behind the loud humor and buffoonery, is his gentleness, his genial mirth, and his simple faith in mankind. The following is a list of his novels and other collections in three periods: (1) Period of youthful optimist Sketches by Boz 《新手之笔》(1836); The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club 《皮克威克外传》(1836-1837); Oliver Twist 《雾都孤儿》(1837-1838); Nicholas Nickleby 《尼古拉斯.尼克尔比》(1838-1839); The Old Curio
