Best Answer

Answer: Like many great writers, Dickens wrote about things he experienced. Some portions of his writings spring from his childhood, particularly a short period that he spent working in a blacking factory. He also addressed various social and governmental ills. Bleak House, for example, is aimed at the Chancery Court system; Oliver Twist describes the plight of the thousands of orphans and prostitutes living on the streets of London; Nicholas Nickelby attacks the "schools" for young boys usually located in northern England, where the boys are maltreated and abused, and put out if their fees aren't paid; Our Mutual Friend looks not only at mudlarks on the Thames, but the life of London social climbers. Dickens was an insomniac and spent many nights walking the streets of London, so he was familiar with a community, indeed, a whole world of which his peers were ignorant. The knowledge he gained and the compassion it spawned were poured into his books.

Many of Dickens's novels addressed social problems. For example, Nicholas Nickleby exposed the horrific boys schools of northern England. Oliver Twist focused on the enormous number of homeless orphans and prostitutes on the streets of London (with a splash of antisemitism). Bleak House treated the subject of the chancery courts and Dombey and Sonrepresented the evils of the coming railroads. Hard Timeslampooned the educational system predominate in the Victorian Era. And closer to Dickens's own history, Little Dorrit dealt with the cruelty and pointlessness of debtors prisons.
