Charles Dickens is one of the most well-loved authors of English literature. His novels are great reads even today, featuring suspense, crime, complex characters and unique insight into the social injustice that haunted Victorian Britain. In many ways, his works still speak into our time. So it should come as no surprise that his works have been popular among film makers.
Some of the most recent adaptations include:
- Oliver Twist (2005)
- Bleak House (2005)
- David Copperfield (1999)
Another fairly recent BBC project is an adaptation of Dickens' Little Dorrit. The BBC website contains plenty of information on the characters, cast and author.
