Shakespeare & Dickens - The Influence of William Shakespeare on the Life and Work of Charles Dickens
Abstract
This paper explores the deep and multifaceted influence of William Shakespeare (baptised 26 April 1564 – died 23 April 1616) on Charles John Huffam Dickens (7 February 1812 – 9 June 1870). It examines Dickens’s early encounters with Shakespeare, his theatrical engagements, the Shakespearean resonances in his novels, and the moral‑imaginative inheritance he received from the dramatis personae and vocabulary of the Bard. Concluding reflections consider Dickens as Shakespeare’s nineteenth‑century heir and the enduring significance of the Shakespeare–Dickens relationship for English literature.
