Charles Dickens lived in the Victorian Era and he was concerned with the social and economical progress of that time; he feared the industrial revolution and the progression or more likely “regression” of those times and how people would be forced to apply themselves to the future.
He was appalled by the abuse going on in factories to women and children in London at that time. Although Charles Dickens was not happy with the stage play's violation of his work, the novels he made impacted the literary world.
