Charles Dickens



G.K. Chesterton's Charles Dickens is a profound analysis that praises Dickens as a natural genius capable of inspiring enthusiasm and optimism, despite his frequent focus on the poverty and injustice of the Victorian era. Chesterton saw Dickens's work as a blend of the seriousness of human tragedy and the humor of human diversity, brought to light by 'the fiery conflagration of sheer natural genius' to reveal the essential facets of humanity, according to Britannica. Chesterton saw Dickens as the conflagration and transfiguration at the heart of the so-called conventional Victorian era. His genius stemmed from his natural passion, not from tradition or formal philosophy. Dickens successfully combined tragedy and humor, which became the basis of democratic reality in his work. He showed that all human beings are equally noble (tragic) and equally interesting (comical). Dickens's works often highlight the harsh realities of poverty and injustice.
