On Feb. 7, 2012, readers around the world will be celebrating the 200th birthday of Charles Dickens. The beloved British writer, author of classic works like 'Great Expectations,' 'Oliver Twist,' 'A Tale of Two Cities' and 'A Christmas Carol,' has been the subject of dozens of biographies 鈥� books written about his life, his family, and the stories behind his famous works. Here's a list of 20, aimed at readers of different ages, that we think do a good job of celebrating the life of the famous writer.
Fred Kaplan's biography of Dickens is a solid piece of work that manages to speak to both general readers and those more advanced in their studies of Dickens. Kaplan takes readers on a thorough tour of Dickens' life and circumstances: his childhood brush with poverty; his unfortunate marriage; his meteoric success and vast social and professional network. Kaplan provides insight into the circumstances and life events that led Dickens to become one of the foremost literary names of all time.
