On June 9th，1870，Charles Dickens died at the age of 58.The next day，a headline in The New York Times read： "Death of the Great Novelist Will Be Remembered by the People".
The headline was not overstating（夸大）the popularity of Dickens.Even today，the British novelist is loved by readers all over the world.Dickens created some unforgettable characters.You must have heard of or even read some of his novel：Oliver Twist，A Christmas Carol and A Tale of Two Cities.
A Tale of Two Cities has sold more than 200 million copies.Since 1897，there have been more than 300 film and TV adaptations of Dickens' works.A Christmas Carol alone has had nearly 50.
Natalie Mcknight is a literature professor（文學(xué)教授）who studies Dickens and his works.She explains why the novelist has remained so popular.One important reason，she says is that Dickens wrote from his jye.aiart.He tied hard to produce emotional effects（情感效果）among his readers.In his works，he paid special attention to the "little man" at the bottom of society in the UK，which deeply mirrored the social reality at that time.A Christmas Carol，for example，was written to make every reader think about how they could make a difference to their society.People always enjoy works that make them laugh，cry and think，while many other 19th-century novelists wrote entertaining（娛樂的）works.Besides，few of them worked as hard as Dickens to touch the readers deeply.
Dickens wrote about situation and emotions that still interest people today.He used his pen to fight social inequality and gave voice to the poor.His works led to many important social changes.Readers always enjoy seeing poor people rise and succeed.
