Highly Recommended

Episode: Charles Dickens

It was discussed as one of the novels Charles Dickens wrote after 'The Pickwick Papers', which depicted London and its underbelly in a way never before seen, drawing on his own experiences of poverty.

"

It's very interesting to me how Dickens had such an empathy for the poor and he really understood what it was like to be poor he never ever had a chance to be a poor he never ever forgot what it was like to be a poor child and he wasn't one of those people that when he made it big he kind of forgot his roots he never really admitted to them very few people ever knew about his impoverished childhood but he always emphasized and he spent much of his adult life trying to improve the lot of those who were poor

Even Queen Victoria reads it against the advice of her Prime Minister Lord Milbourne who fears she isn't ready for its gritty subject matter In fact, she notes in her diary that she finds it riveting
