Explanation:

Charles Dickens was not only a talented storyteller but he was also a word stylist ("Dicken's style"). His priority was to relay a message, but as a writer, he was also interested in creating beautiful prose.  His writing style was heavily detailed. He used exaggeration in description to imply character traits. He was fond of metaphor, simile and frequently repeated words in a sentence to emphasize a phrase (Lorcher, Trent). This made it easier for people to read and understand his work and also made his words more memorable. For example, the opening of A Tale of Two Cities uses repetition, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way” (Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities).

This first line effectively establishes tone. It is also incredibly famous even now, years after its publication. He was a master of dialect. This allowed him to develop full and relatable characters that engage in more realistic and lively dialogue. Dialect was also used to establish class. Sam’s manner of speaking in The Pickwick Papers is an example of Dickens masterful reproduction of a cockney accent, “All good feelin’, sir—the wery best intentions, as the gen’l’m’n said ven he run away from his wife ‘cos she seemed unhappy with him” (Dickens, The Pickwick Papers). W’s and V’s are switched, and the pronunciation of a handful of words is mutilated.

Charles Dickens experimented with several different genres, but most of them were all critical of the industrial revolution and Victorian England. He lived through what was called Pax Britanncia a golden time of peace but was quite aware of distress and poverty within the country. Much of his work, whether it takes a comic, tragic or spooky approach is a heavily descriptive view into what life was like in 19th century England. His renderings of the world around him were so complete that even today people use the word “Dickensian” in regards to anything reminiscent of his work or that represents low wage factory work ("The Tales").
