| 1812–70, English author, b. Portsmouth, one of the world’s most popular, prolific, and skilled novelists.… His enormous warmth of feeling sometimes spilled into sentimental pathos, sometimes flowed as pure tragedy. Dickens was particularly successful at evoking the sights, sounds, and smells of London, and the customs of his day.—continue at Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition.
