16 Stoic Humility with Charles Dickens

In today's episode of the female stoic podcast we are discussing Humility in the novella Christmas carol byCharles dickens

The originalpublication date for Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol is December 19,1843. It was an instant success, with the first edition selling out byChristmas Eve.  

Like many ofDickens’ other works, A Christmas Carol was written as a work of social commentary. Dickens had alifelong devotion to helping the underserved due to his own family’sexperiences with debtors prison, which forced him to drop out of school as aboy and work at a factory.

As Dickens’biographer Michael Slater described, the author thought of A ChristmasCarol as a way to, “help open the hearts of the prosperous andpowerful towards the poor and powerless…."

And we couldargue this is a stoic approach to that same sense of loss that scrooge had,

And dickenstriumphs here, because he, as an author, is in alignment with his purpose.  He had been proactive in his response tosomething as devastating as loss and poverty.
