当时狄更斯还是英国《晨报》的国会记者,专门采访英国下议院的政策辩论,也时常采访各种选举活动。第一版由政治连环漫画家克鲁克香克(George Cruikshank)插图。博兹札记虽未让狄更斯名躁一时,但引起了一家出版商,请他为“运动员画册月刊”写说明文字,他原本不懂玩球、猎狐,但期间因原画家猝逝,使得狄更斯反客为主、掌握主动,骋驰想像空间,于是出现后来的“匹克威克外传”(The Posthumous Popers of the Pickwick Club)。
查尔斯·狄更斯,19世纪英国批判现实主义小说家。狄更斯特别注意描写生活在英国社会底层的“小人物”的生活遭遇,深刻地反映了当时英国复杂的社会现实,为英国批判现实主义文学的开拓和发展做出了贡献。他的作品依然盛行,对英国文学发展起到了深远的影响。主要作品《匹克威克外传》、《雾都孤儿》 、《老古玩店》、《艰难时世》、《我们共同的朋友》。
