文档介绍：A Brief Analysis of the Images of Children in Dickens’ Novels
Ⅰ.Introduction
In the long period of domination of Queen Victoria, Charles Dickens was the most popular and internationally known English novelist. Being the greatest representative of the English critical realism, he gave us a most vivid picture of everyday life, of the ordinary people of his time. He created a large number of ettable characters, well known and full of life. He had suffered so bitterly himself as a child and had seen so much evilness that he was burned with the desire to fight it to the end. While representing a truthful account of the hardships born by poor people, he believed that a hard-working and honest man could achieve his little personal business under capitalism. The ess of one great novelist would rely on the carrier: his works, to support himself.
Charles Dickens wrote many a novel such as The Pickwick Papers, Oliver Twist, Dombey and Son, Hard Times and A Tale of Two Cities. Charles Dickens used his pen to mould a typical figure of all stratums in the Victorian age: Mr. Pickwick, the benevolent gentleman; Oliver Twist, the good lucky young man; Mr. Grandgrad, the victim of his own ridiculous utilitarian philosophy and Mr. le, the innocent doctor who witnessed the French Revolution. All the above novels played an important role in Charles Dickens’ essful career. But David Copperfield, a novel based on his early life experiences, is Dickens’ satisfied reminiscence of his way of life and literary reappearance of his personal history. Like Dickens, David works as a child, pasting labels onto bottles. David also es first a law clerk, then a reporter, and finally a essful novelist. Mr. Micawber is a satirical version of Dickens’s father, a likable man who can never scrape together the money he needs. Many of the secondary characters spring from Dickens’s experiences as a young man in financial distress in London. So we can see that Dickens liked this novel very much. No wonder
