Journal Title: Notions A Journal of English Literature - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
Dickens work, which primarily revolved around the societal problems. Also the work of Charles probes into the great Victorian era, which was diffusing towards a new century of modernity and industrialization. Despite any literary controversy over Dickens style, most of the critics agree that Great Expectations is his best book. G.K. Chesterton once observed that all of the Charles Dickens could be titled Great Expectations, for they are full of an unsubstantial yet ardent expectation of everything.
