How come no American author can rival Dickens? What is it that makes Anglo literature so soulful?

Why was he so wordy? When I read his work, I can tell he made a conscious decision to be as drawn out as possible.

I've noticed a trend of Dickens hate lately. Whether it's on booktube or in person, people really seem to dislike his writing. I don't get it.

How come no one ever mentions Dickens here? I think he's pretty great. I'm reading A Tale of Two Cities now, pretty kino. I also like David Copperfield and A Christmas Carol, the latter probably from watching the old 30s movie.
Any other Victorian era authors like Dickens?

Surely /lit/ has read lots of Dickens, right? Rank his novels from the best to worst.

I’ve been reading for about 10 years but have managed to avoid Dickens to this point.He just never seemed to appeal to me.However I’ve tried books I thought I wouldn’t enjoy and been pleasantly surprised.I’m eyeing Great Expectations, David Copperfield or The Pickwick Papers.Any thoughts or opinions on him?

Should novels still be printed in serialized form? Obviously there isn't a large enough readership to sustain it, but do you think it would help with the quality of the work? It seems that writers like Dickens and James really flourished using this method, and surely there are other writers and novelists working today who would benefit from only having their works published piecemeal in monthly editions.

This is Charles Dickens, the best 19th century novelist. Say something nice about him!
