Charles Dickens in one of the most famous writers of all time. If you haven’t read one of his books, you’ve almost certainly watched one of the movies made from his books. He lived and worked in the 19th century and rarely published his books in one full piece. Instead, he published his novels as serials — chapter by chapter in weekly or monthly newspapers — since it was a popular format at the time.
Dickens used feedback from readers and would rewrite the next chapter if he thought that was necessary. Only after he published all the chapters in serial format would the full version of the book come out. Dickens was appreciated for his realistic picture of the time he lived in as well as his unique characterizations and prose.
