Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2013 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, , course: Mphil English, language: English, abstract: This paper will examine Charles Dickens' depiction of the marginalised in the Victorian society namely in his three selected text; The old curiosity shop, Oliver Twist and David Copperfield. It will mainly deal with homelessness, heroism and forms of unemployment with a focus on The Poor Law. I will look into the problem of poverty in context of first phase of industrialization which brought radical insecurity to more working class than middle class people. Dickens' novels expose the slums and dirt of London and its surroundings by realistically depicting the corruption of its society. Thus the Industrial Revolution evoked sympathy and a desire for social change in Charles Dickens.
