Oliver Twist is notable for its unromantic portrayal of criminals and their sordid

lives, as well as for exposing the cruel treatment of the many orphans in London

in the mid-19th century. The alternative title, The Parish Boy's Progress,

alludes to Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress, as well as the 18th-century

caricature series by William Hogarth, A Rake's Progress and A Harlot's

Progress.

In this early example of the social novel, Dickens satirises the hypocrisies of his

time, including child labour, domestic violence, the recruitment of children as

criminals, and the presence of street children. The novel may have been inspired

by the story of Robert Blincoe, an orphan whose account of working as a child

labourer in a cotton mill was widely read in the 1830s. It is likely that Dickens's

own experiences as a youth contributed as well.
