Seine schriftstellerische Karriere begann er mit seinen Skizzen des Londoner Alltagslebens, die unter dem Titel 'Sketches by Boz' 1836 in Buchform erschienen. Seine 'Pickwick Papers' folgten ein Jahr später und machten Dickens über England hinaus berühmt. Anschließend entstanden in rascher Folge die ersten Romane, u.a. 'Oliver Twist' und 'Nicholas Nickleby'. Dickens wurde Herausgeber der liberalen Londoner Zeitung 'Daily News', reiste in die USA und nach Italien und verfasste 1848/1849 'David Copperfield', der viel autobiographisches Material enthält.
Dickens' liebevolle Schilderungen menschlicher Schwächen, sein Kosmos skurriler und schrulliger englischer 'Originale' und die satirische Anprangerung sozialer Missstände machten ihn bereits zu Lebzeiten zu einem der beliebtesten Romanciers der Weltliteratur. Seine Bücher brachten ihm außerdem beträchtlichen Wohlstand ein. Seit 1860 lebte er auf seinem Landsitz Gad's Hill Place in Kent, wo er im Alter von nur 58 Jahren an einem Schlaganfall starb.
