How did CHARLES DICKENS influence the world around him? Does he continue to influence the world today?
I know Charles dickens wrote a lot of books, many of which are classics. I was wondering what he influenced specifically. Were the poor laws ever changed in response to "Oliver Twist"? Were any of the social issues he highlighted in his books ever revised or corrected?
Or was his influence merely literary? Did he do nothing more than introduce vibrant characters and plots?
Has his influence continued into modern times?
If you have any opinions, they would be welcomed. Thank you in advance!
Answer: By the late 19th century we see the growth of labor unions and all kinds of laws designed to improve the lot of the urban poor: universal education, the 8-hour day, workplace safety, unemployment benefits, retirement benefits, and other things we often take for granted.
We also see the growth of socialist philosophies and movements at the same time.
Dickens's voice was one of many, but a very loud one, that helped bring about these changes.
If you want a more specific example, look at Christmas. Prior to the publication of "A Christmas Carol" December 25 was both a regular work day and a school day--not a holiday. With this and his later Xmas stories, Dickens almost single-handedly made December 25 a holiday.

What role did Australia play in the British criminal justice system during CHARLES DICKENS lifetime?
I need to know Australias influence on the Criminal Justice System from 1812-1870. I know that Australias population was greatly influenced by British immigrants, and I know that Dickens family had some financial problems, as John Dickens was arrested for debt during Charles childhood. I need a good answer by 25 August please.
oh. thanks.
Answer: Australia's role on the British criminal justice system was mainly to alleviate the overcrowding in English prisons due to the enactment of some rather harsh, all encompassing, laws.
The first fleet of convict ships arrived at Botany Bay (Sydney) on 20 January 1788. The last convicts to be transported to Australia arrived in 1868 in Western Australia. Much of this happened during Charles dickens's lifetime, however it had nothing directly to do with his father's imprisonment.
In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries about 60, 000 convicts were sent to the British colonies in North America (the US and Australia have a lot in common). When the American Revolutionary War brought an end to this the British Government was forced to look elsewhere. Australia was where the British established a penal colony (or colonies) to alleviate pressure on their own prisons.
See the source below for a history:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convictism_in_Australia
As I understand the history of Dickens's childhood had nothing to do with Australia. John Dickens went to debtors' prison (in England) and so did the rest of the Dickens family (which was common - except for Charles). Charles was working at a warehouse near the present Charring Cross railway station which was near the debtor's prison. The money Charles earned (six shillings a week) pasting labels on jars of shoe polish paid for his way at the house of Elizabeth Roylance (a family friend). John Dickens latter got out of prison and paid his debts.
See the source below for these details.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Dickens
These two sources listed above should get you started on your research. Hope this helps and good luck on your assignment.

How much editing did Alexandre Dumas, or CHARLES DICKENS need to do before publishing?
Nowadays people need to edit a story about 100 times before anyone will even think about publishing. Charles dickens and Alexandre Dumas published their stories weekly in newspapers. Other authors such as O. Henry did too. Their stories are still famous.
Answer: Just because they published their stories week by week, that doesn't mean that they didn't draft each installment several times and carefully edit them before going to print. Plus, even if they didn't do much editing, those writers are geniuses, and that's why their work has survived. Most of their contemporaries - who we *don't* still read today - were mediocre, and those mediocre writers probably had just as hard a time getting published as equally mediocre writers today.
'Editing' doesn't necessarily mean 'shortening', either, unless you're a massively undisciplined writer. A hugely long novel might still have undergone a lot of editing and re-drafting prior to publication. Moreover, plenty of long and unwieldy novels are still published, to great success, to this day.

What is CHARLES DICKENS fundamental idea of Christmas and what is the essence of Christmas to Dickens?
Im interested in what does Charles dickens believe is the essence of Christmas if you have an idea please state and give some reason as to why or please list a website in which i can look for some ideas thanks
Answer: Dicken's A Christmas Carol is not about Christmas, rather it is an allegory of the abuses suffered by the the working class during the early Industrial Revolution in Britain. Bob Cratchett represents the poor working man, abused, underpaid, overworked, and treated like a machine rather than a person (Karl Marx's proletariat). Ebenezer Scrooge represents the industrialist, getting rich from the toil of others (Marx's bourgeoisie). However, unlike Marx, Dickens presents an optimistic view that the greedy industrialist can change for the good and contribute back to society.

CHARLES DICKENS?
Explain how Charles dickens in the novel "A Tale of Two Cities" uses duality in his novel, particullary in the first paragraph.
Answer: It compares, the rich and poor, the French and English.
The year is 1775, and life in England and France seems paradoxically the best and the worst that it can be. The rulers and ruling classes of both countries may have the best of life, but they are out of touch with the common people and believe that the status quo will continue forever.
This first chapter presents the sweeping backdrop of forces and events that will shape the lives of the novel’s characters. From the first paragraph, Dickens begins developing the central theme of duality. His pairings of contrasting concepts such as the “best” and “worst” of times, “Light” and “Darkness,” and “hope” and “despair” reflect the mirror images of good and evil that will recur in characters and situations throughout the novel.
England and France in 1775 embody the concept of duality that Dickens outlines in the first paragraph. Both countries are simultaneously experiencing very similar and very different situations. For example, both the English and French monarchs—George III and Louis XVI, respectively—seem indifferent to the plight of their people and cannot comprehend any power being great enough to eclipse their divine right to rule. However, while their attitudes will result in revolutions for both countries, the American revolution occurs an ocean away, leaving the British infrastructure unscathed and saving the British population from the massive loss of life and the horrors that will take place during the French revolution.
The differences between the two countries become more pronounced when Dickens compares the concepts of spirituality and justice in each country. In England, people are enthralled with the supernatural, especially with visionaries and ghosts that communicate mystical messages. In France, though, people pay attention to religious leaders out of fear rather than fascination. A man neglecting to kneel to a distant procession of monks may be condemned to a torturous death for his transgression. Dickens contrasts France’s harsh justice system to England’s lax one. Criminals overrun England: Highwaymen rob seemingly at will, prisoners revolt against their jailers, and violence is answered with more violence. When the courts serve justice in England, they serve it indiscriminately, with murderers and petty thieves alike receiving the death penalty.

How much would a slightly worn first edition of CHARLES DICKENS A Christmas Carol be worth?
My mother has a first edition of Charles dickens Christmas Carol, and it even has sketched drawing of him in the back as well as a dedication to the Author and where it was printed. My mom was just curious on how much it would be worth, although it is quite worn due to its age. Does anyone have any answers?
Answer: I would get it appraised by a couple of antique book dealers. (Be aware if they sell it for you they will take a commission - standard practice.) You might try an auction house too.
There are a lot of fakes out there and those who appraise the book might tell you this - even if it is not true. I suggest you get it appraised by different people in different towns. Make sure the book is kept in a manner where it won't get more damaged.
Good luck and don't rush into selling it until you get all the facts.
