How old was Charles Dickens when he wrote Oliver Twist?

Asked by Wiki User

Dickens wasn't the kind of writer who would work on one project until completion, then move on to the next. He usually skipped from one to the other depending, probably, on things like inspiration, research and personal whim. Most of his output appear in serial form and Dickens seldom finished the story before it began to be published. It's probably just a side benefit, but the reading audience actually influenced the outcome of some stories. We do know that Oliver Twist, his second book and one of the better known, was first published in Bentley'sMiscellany as a serial, in monthly installments that began appearing in the month of February 1837 and continued through April 1839.

Oliver Twist is a crossover book, and is mostly suitable for adults and young adults or teenagers. There are simplified, or abridged versions for younger readers, however. I believe Usborne do a good one.

Is Oliver Twist appropriate to be read to a 7 year old child?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Do you mean for casting or for viewing?

For casting, Fagin's boys can be all ages of young men. A general age range would be from about 9-15 years old (or any young boy having the look of a 9-15-year-old).

For viewing, it should really be a parent's decision. There is a little bit of rough language (I mean, slightly offensive, but nobody drops the F-Bomb or anything), and some of the themes contained within may be more than a young child can handle (some scenes deal with issues ranging from prostitution, to murder, to homelessness, to theft). It depends on what you, as a parent, think your child is prepared to be exposed to. Despite some of the dirty, real-life issues in the play, the story is about love and family, and finding a real home, and is really beautiful.

RELYON JAKE THE RAKE as BULLSEYE in OLIVER TWIST

He was absolutely great in the 1948 film, how on earth did they train

him to scratch frantically at the door to get out during Nancy's murder

by Bill Sikes

By the late Jimmie Russ (1976) taken from the winter issue The Stafford 2010

All dogs are actors, but Relyon Jake the Rake, or "Belsen" as he was dubbed - by me, was in the Richard Burton Class.

He eventually furnished into the fine stafford seen acting the part of "Bullseye" to perfection in the film "Oliver Twist", from the novel by Charles Dickens.

It is legendary that Charlie knew a thing or two about dogs which is the reason why he was sensible enough to favour a Stafford type terrier as his companion and made one the centre of his story.

It is conceivable that if dog shows had been popular in his time, that with his flair for telling the tale and his advocacy for this type of dog, he would have been elected to the Secretaryship of a Staffordshire Bull Terrier Club.

As the film is such a perennial favourite shown nationwide television around each Chrisitmas, I feel that the part of Bullseye as played by Belsen has done a lot to advertise the Stafford, and for this reason I have never regretted letting him go.

I bought him from Charlie Townsend as a six week old puppy for £4.00, at the Society's first Championship show in 1946, and sold him for the princely sum early 1948 to Charles Cruft Junior, the agent for the film producer Ronald Neame, who was in the process of making "Oliver Twist" at Pinewood Studios, Buck., and who was badly in need of a canine character suitable for the part in the film.

Unlike his co-stars, the late Robert Newton (Bill Sykes), Sir Alec Guiness (Fagin), Anthony Newly (The Artful Dodger) and John Howard Davis (Oliver Twist), Belsen needed no make-up as he was a dead ringer for the part of Bullseye. How well he performed and how representative he was of the breed, can be judged when this film comes into viewers homes each Christmes.

I went to Pinewood Studios several times to assist with his training. On one occasion I was asked to show Robert Newton how to pretend to kick Belsen without hurting him. This was done with the side of the foot and is quite easy when one knows how. However, when Robert tried, the dog took a dim view of it and immediately flew at Robert worrying hard at his "Bill Sykes" boots, and that part was cut forthwith.

I got into a shocking row with my wife, whose favourite he was, for selling him, and she reckoned that I would sell her if I got the chance, but as I was carrying a lot of dogs at the time, and all things considered, I did what I thought best.

As a Best of Breed winner he has inspired, to my certain knowledge, a number of people to take up the breed.

Through the medium, he is the ultimate in breed advert, and my family , along with millions of others enjoy him when the film is shown, and this could not possibly have happened in any other way.

Ronald Neame took a great fancy to him and after the film was completed, he took him into his care as his own dog.

Unfortunately, like a lot of Staffords, Belsen had no road sense, and, one day whilst chasing a cat across a road, he was knocked down by a large American car and killed
