This paper will examine the treatment of children in the following novels of Dickens "Oliver Twist" (1839) and "David Copperfield" (1850).

In my analysis of Dickens’ novels, I am going to deal with how poor children became a source of cheap labour and how they were forced to work in hard and tough conditions.
