(Anonymous) 2012-03-13 02:10 am (UTC)(link)It's not to say that Dickens was always spot-on with his morals (his treatment of women, and especially women's suffragists, was consistently either overly-idealized or condescending), but he was a vehement opponent of Parliament's and English society's cruel mistreatment of the poor, and strongly criticized the continuing practice of slavery in the United States. He was also, to my knowledge, one of the few Victorian anti-semitical authors who realized the wrongness of his views and tried to make amends for them. (There's an entire subplot in Our Mutual Friend that revolves around a Mr. Riah, who was a response to Dickens' earlier character of Fagin.)
George Orwell was right when he noted that Dickens railed against cruelty without providing solutions to end it, but I don't think that would qualify Dickens as a "total douche."
