He never regained consciousness, and the next day, on 9 June, he died at Gads Hill Place. Contrary to his wish to be buried at Rochester Cathedral in an inexpensive, unostentatious, and strictly private manner, he was laid to rest in the Poets Corner of Westminster Abbey. 他的墓碑上如此写道：“他是贫穷、受苦与被压迫人民的同情者；他的去世令世界失去了一位伟大的英国作家。”(He was a sympathiser to the poor , the suffering ，and the oppressed； and by his death , one of Englands greatest writers is lost to the world.)。 death 1836—1841, first period, Period of youthful optimist: fun, high spirit, naive optimism. At this stage Dickens believed that all the evils of the capitalist world would be remedied if only men treated each other with kindliness, justice, and sympathetic understanding. Dickens thought that the whole social question would be solved if only every employer reformed himself according to the model set by the benevolent gentlemen in his novels. This naive optimism is characteristic of the petty-bourgeois humanitarians of his time. works 1) Sketches by Boz (1836) «博兹特写集» 2) T
