Since the coronation of Queen Victoria in 1837, until his death in 1901, it was a time of social transformation that forced writers to take positions on issues more immediate. Despite strong social criticism that arose in many of his works, Queen Victoria was a fan of Dickens.

OPINION/SOME INFORMATION ABOUT ONE OF THEM.
I think Charles Dikend is one of the most important writers of history and for that reason even today he is regarded as a great novelist. The book that I like most is "A Christmas Carol" because Charles tells the story of a man very stingy and selfish. But the three ghosts of Christmas make him a visit and change his way of being. Finally the old stingy man becomes a very generous and kind person.
