The story of the orphan Oliver, who runs away from the workhouse only to be
taken in by a den of thieves, shocked readers when it was first published.
Dickens's tale of childhood innocence beset by evil depicts the dark criminal
underworld of a London peopled by vivid and memorable characters - the arch-
villain Fagin, the artful Dodger, the menacing Bill Sikes and the prostitute
Nancy. Combining elements of Gothic Romance, the Newgate Novel and popular
melodrama, Dickens created an entirely newkind of fiction, scathing in its
indictment of a cruel society, and pervaded by an unforgettable sense of
threat and mystery.
