Dickens’ literary heritage is of world importance. He developed the English social novel, writing about the most burning social problems of his time. He wrote of the workhouses of England and the tragedy of the children who lived there («Oliver Twist»); he wrote about the problem of education and showed how it crippled children («Nicholas Nickleby»). Dickens wrote about money and its terrible, destructive force over men’s souls («Dombey and Son»). «David Copperfield», one of the most lyrical works of the great novelist, was to some extend autobiographical. Dickens criticized children’s labour, the system of education, but also showed how David triumphed over all these evils, thanks to his humanistic approach to people, to reality.
Dickens’ later novels were «Bleak House» and «Little Dorrit». In «Bleak House» he took up the problem of law and justice; in «Little Dorrit» the reader got acquainted with the debtors’ prison of London. Those novels showed more clearly than before the great social contradictions between the bourgeoisie and the simple people.
