6 Charles Dickens Adaptations You Can Stream Right Now

Charles Dickens was one of the most prolific writers in English history. Not so much because of the number of novels and short stories he wrote -- though, admittedly, 15 tiles is no slouch -- for the sheer volume of each.

But, even the most difficult sort of Dickens reader has to acknowledge the sheer scope of the man's ability. Love his works or hate them, he created some of the most famous characters in literary history, whose identities have often outgrown the books that birthed them. (After all, even if you've never read Great Expectations, you've almost certainly heard of Miss Havisham, and Ebenezer Scrooge has certainly taken on a life well outside of A Christmas Carol.) And it's the reason there are so many Dickens adaptations large and small out there in popular media. Truly, there is something for everyone!

From the scrappy orphans of Oliver Twist to the autobiographical adventures of David Copperfield, here are six Dickens adaptations you can stream online right now.
