Yes its rooted in a literacy genius ..who saw around him poverty, harsh oppressive experiences.
His quiet Christian faith was enough to try bring change.
The overcrowded slums,
work(house) conditions, exploitation,
poor diet.
hooligan attitudes, lack of economic well being, lack of social welfare.
Unjust actions...etc..
So being a writer, in his field of work, created narrative, shared through storytelling, parables, literature told his reflections.
Social commentary followed, others already aligned in some areas, brought ,tried to bring, change to these issues.
Today hundreds of years after Charles Dickens commentated through his books.
The conditions remain...Dickensian conditions, oppressive, harsh, neglected, tough unfair lives being lived in 2022 like then in 1800.
Poverty like a cloak it surrounds those many living now like then.
Child poverty is highest in urban areas, but there are also non-urban or less urbanized areas with high child poverty prevalence, such as North East England or in the South Wales Valleys.
