Charles Dickens was born on February 7 of 1812. Charles Dickens had a difficult family life when he was young, due to his father's imprisonment for debt. The rest of Charles' family (his 6 younger siblings, 1 older brother, and mother) went with him. Charles worked at a shoe factory to help support his family. Charles Dickens lived in a boarding house, and visited his family every Sunday. This experience had an enormous influence on him.

In 1833, at the age of 21, Charles Dickens had his first short story, and some of his sketches published in a magazine. 3 years later, at the age of 24, his first book was published (a collection of stories). The same year, he had married Catherine Hogarth, who was the daughter of the editor of the "Evening Chronicle." Once married, they traveled, and he started his own weekly journal, acted a bit, and published a number of books, including the famous "David Copperfield." Charles dickens had then later fell in love with another woman in 1857. Charles Dickens had then eventually left his wife to marry this woman.

His adult life may have been stable in many ways, but his father was arrested again, and his family constantly turned to him for financial help.
