Charles Dickens and the Street Children of London

(2) 4-6 Warren focuses on how Dickens's impoverished childhood led to a deep sense of empathy that manifested itself in his writing and his life. Young Charles was largely self-educated; when he became a writer, he infused his novels with his own experiences and observations of rundown London. Warren generally sticks to her focus, but the narrative also takes some interesting diversions. Websites. Bib., ind.
