Charles Dickens (1812-1870) was an English writer and social critic who is generally regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian period. His major works include: The Pickwick Papers (1836), Oliver Twist (1837–9), Nicholas Nickleby (1838–9), A Christmas Carol (1843), Martin Chuzzlewit (1843–4), David Copperfield (1849–50), Bleak House (1852–3), Hard Times (1854), Little Dorrit (1855–7), A Tale of Two Cities (1859), Great Expectations (1860–1), Our Mutual Friend (1864–5) and the unfinished The Mystery of Edwin Drood (1870), as well as other novels, books and short stories. None of his major works has ever gone out of print. Alastair Cording is an actor and writer, and has lectured at Glasgow and Strathclyde Universities. His extensive career as an actor and director led to writing as a result of the Edinburgh Fringe First-winning epic, The Golden City. He has written for a number of theatre companies: a series of children's plays for Masque; Mrs O's Saturday Nights (Covent Garden Festival); Fatale (Basingstoke Haymarket); and The Walsingham Organ, Margaret Catchpole and Margaret Down Under (Eastern Angles). Adapted works include Wild Harbour and Gay Hunter for BBC TV; David Copperfield for Eastern Angles; and for TAG, Lanark and the Scots Quair trilogy, including Sunset Song.
