Charles Dickens - The Later Years | Biography

Charles Dickens was one of the most popular, most prolific and most influential writers of the 19th Century. His novels and short stories not only influenced other authors, but helped shape public opinion about some of the terrible social inequalities of the Victorian era which led to new laws to protect the most vulnerable in society. With success coming at such a young age – he was 24 when The Pickwick Papers was published - it meant that for most of his adult life, Dickens was held up as a pillar of virtue and a champion of the downtrodden. But he was a far more complex character who behaved, at times, more like one of his villains than the paragon everyone believed him to be. In this biographical documentary Prof Yorston looks into the secrets that Charles Dickens’ tried so hard to keep hidden – the darker side of the man who invented Christmas.
