A
In 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66 novels published in Britain. People had been
writing novels for a century —most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719 —
but nobody wanted to do it professionally. The steam-powered printing press was still in its early stages; the
literacy(识字) rate in England was under 50%. Many works of fiction appeared without the names of the authors,
often with something like “ By a lady.”Novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly, immoral, or just plain
bad.
In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and publisher, famous and
beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters —
from Oliver Twist to Tiny Tim — were held up as moral touchstones. Today Dickens ’greatness is unchallenged.
Removing him from the pantheon (名人堂) of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre
selling off the Mona Lisa .
How did Dickens get to the top For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a numbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass. Some 60,000 novels were published during the Victorian age, from
1837 to1901; today a casual reader might be able to name a half-dozen of
them. It
’ s patruetly that Dickens ’
style
of writing attracted audiences
from all walks of life. It that’his parwritlyings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress. But it that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center. No one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a singular writer. But as the 200th anniversary of his birth
approaches, it is possible
— and important for our own culture
—to understand how he made himself a lasting
one.
