题目内容
The success of Pickwick Papers made Dickens very popular. He suddenly found himself at twenty-four, the most famous novelist of his day. Busy as his social life was, he worked on two novels at the same time—Oliver Twist and Pickwick Papers. He was particularly proud of Pickwick, which was a huge success and was regarded as a comedy masterpiece.“If I were to live a hundred years and write novels in each, I should never be so proud of any of them as I am of Pickwick.”
It has been said of Dickens that he gripped (控制) the imagination of his readers because his imagination gripped himself. The people in his works were so real that they could make him laugh or cry. When writing Oliver Twist he said that he could not rest until Fagin, the wrongdoer, had been hanged.
Dickens’s marriage to Catherine Hagarth, with whom he had nine children, ended unhappily in 1858.He started to travel about giving readings of his works. His interest in theatre gave his novels the qualities that made them suitable for reading aloud on the stage. A tiring travel to the United States affected his health. On June 9, 1870, when he was working on a new novel, he died, as he had wished. He said he wanted to die working.
