Just Charles Dickens in that sentence. I'm almost positive it would be Charles Dickens's if you wanted to make it possesive even though it normally ends in s.

Charles Dickens. That was his name and an apostrophe show a posessive as in...
Charles Dickens' novels were classics.
The apostrophe would go after the s, because his name ends in s.

don't put an apostrophe because it shows owner ship you would use an apostrophe in a sentence like this. Charles Dicken's unique style of writing. When you add the "had a " you change the sentence and you don't need an apostrophe.

The S is part of his name so it should be Charles Dickens, if you want to pluralize it then the apostrophe would come after the "s" it would be "The Dickens' should also be invited to the event" no extra s, not needed.

No, no, no apostrophe! Charles Dickens is the man's name. It would be like calling your friend Chri's when his name is Chris.

it really is going to easily be Charles Dickens, no apostrophe. an " 's " exhibits possession of something. Matt's abode, Bob's dogs etc. If we were speaking about a house belonging to Charles Dickens, the apostrophe would go after the "s" because it really is already area of his call: Charles Dickens' abode.
