The Charles Dickens Museum is one of the most famous English writers and scholars. Dickens wrote about fifteen novels between 1836 and 1870 during his life, including Oliver Twist and the short story A Christmas Carol. Dickens is also known to have been a strong supporter of poor families and the working class of Great Britain, often dealing with them in his novels thanks to the depiction of impoverished characters who triumphed against all expectations. The museum is at 48 Doughty Street, the London home of the writer who lived there, together with his wife Catherine and his eldest son Charlie, from 1837 to 1839. Here he finished writing The Pickwick Papers and wrote Nicholas Nickleby and, above all, Oliver Twist. Centuries later the house was bought by the Dickens Fellowship which transformed it into its headquarters in 1923 and was then opened to the public in 1925. Here a significant collection of objects related to Dickens and his works is collected. The Charles Dickens Museum looks like a typical middle-class Victorian house, with furnishings, portraits and decorations that belonged to Dickens himself.
