摘要

查尔斯•狄更斯（1812—1870）是十九世纪英国最杰出的小说家之一。在世界文学史上，他是第一位倾注了极大精力创造儿童形象的大作家。狄更斯终其一生都在同情并关注着这些孩子，他关心他们的痛苦与他们小小的欢乐。他同时呼吁社会关心孩子的成长与孩子的需要。因为狄更斯始终对孩子抱有深厚的怜爱之情，对儿童心理和儿童生活又体验得较为深刻，所以他所写的小说一般都引人入胜而且是描写儿童生活中最为杰出的。如狄更斯的小说《大卫•科波菲尔》，是其主要作品，被其视为“最宠爱的孩子”。本文对在人类世界遭遇了这么多不幸与起伏的孩子们展开研究分析，意在引起社会对孩子更多的同情与关注，并揭露孩子的教育问题。时至今日，这些还是极富有现实意义的。
