More from Charles Dickens
"A wonderful fact to reflect upon, that every human creature is constituted to be that profound secret and mystery to every other."
"I have always been of the opinion that the best way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it."
"It is a very remarkable thing, that the very people who are most anxious to get into society are the very people who are least fitted for it."
"The older I grow, the more I dislike the cant of all kinds, and especially religious cant."
"There is a great deal of humbug in the world, and a good deal of it in England."
About Charles Dickens (1812-1870)
English novelist whose Oliver Twist (1838), A Christmas Carol (1843), and Bleak House (1852) made Victorian poverty inescapable for the British middle class. Closely associated with William Makepeace Thackeray (Vanity Fair rival and contemporary serial novelist) and George Eliot (later Victorian giant who built on Dickens's social-realism foundation). For an intellectual contrast, see Jeremy Bentham, founder of utilitarianism (1748-1832) — Mr. Gradgrind in Hard Times (1854) is a direct caricature of Bentham-style social calculation — 'Facts, sir, nothing but Facts!' is the most-cited literary attack on utilitarianism's reduction of human life to measurable units. Dickens's serialized social-novel form is itself a rebuke of utilitarian abstraction.
