Charles Dickens is one of the best-known writers of the Victorian era. Readers respect and admire Dickens’s works for their realistic portrayals of urban life. Many of Dickens’s works explore the brutal working conditions of the poor. Circumstances forced Dickens to work in a at age 12. So he sympathized with the poor people’s plight.

Step-by-step explanation:

The unprecedented popularity that Dickens' novels received and still receive, the creation of some of the most memorable fictional characters in literature, his realism, comedy, prose style and social criticism depicted in his works, made him one of the best-known writers of the Victorian era and gave him the recognition of being a literary genius.

Having been grown up poor, surrounded by difficult situations that forced him to work at a very young age, he was able to sympathize with the poor people’s plight, the suffering and the oppressed people and made many of his novels be a voice of the working class, a critic of the brutal working conditions of the poor, of British aristocratic snobbery and of social stratification of Victorian society, and a realistic portrayal of urban life during the Victorian Era.
