life of people as portrayed in the novels of VictorHugo and Charles Dickens?

Answer 1

novels written by these authors sympathise for the poor. This hadn't been done much before, as Victorians felt poverty was you're own fault and you could work out of pooverty if you worked for it. Basically, they associated poverty with laziness.

But novels like these showed how hard life was for the poor, and maybe they couldn't just go from rags to riches - they needed a little help. An example is Oliver Twist by Dickens - was written as protest to the poor law which said you had to work in a workhouse if you couldn't find work anywhere else.
