This number of Yareah magazine is dedicated to the French writer Émile Zola but his social criticism has a British parallel on Charles Dickens: Zhang Huaming speaks of him. Charles Dickens –an insightful Social Critic [Dickens’s] graphic and eloquent pages have issued to the world more political and social truths than have been uttered by all the professional politicians, publicist, and moralists put together. (Peter Demetz, 45) The novels of Charles Dickens, and the Dickens phenomenon more generally, were landmarks of literature in English and of English literature in the nineteenth century. As Peter Ackroyd writes, in his monumental biography of Dickens, “no novelists, no writers, had ever achieved such national acclaim”. Patronized by some contemporaries as “a little Shakespeare –a Cockney Shakespeare”, Dickens has, nevertheless, come to occupy a place in English literature history as Shakespeare’s equal. Dickens was “the Shakespeare of the novel”, the people’s Shakespeare, as it were. As his friends and literary collaborator Wilkie Collins put it, Dickens was “eminently the people’s author”; an author, moreover, whose work was read by “people who never read any other novels”. (Lyn Pykett, 3)
