“Dickens' London was a place of the mind, but it was also a real place. Much of what we take today to be the marvellous imaginings of a visionary novelist turn out on inspection to be the reportage of a great observer.”-Judith FlandersDickens's opened people eyes, through literature, on topics such as poverty, unemployment, rioting, gender roles, and children's rights. He delved into the world of a smorgasbord of classes, providing different point of views. He was an advocate for many causes, as well as a turning point in the publication of literature.
