abstract = {En Oliver Twist, Ch. Dickens se explaya en una crítica de las
condiciones sociales de la Inglaterra del siglo XIX, cuya dureza había
experimentado de niño. El futuro de Oliver, un joven huérfano, se
debate entre las garras del hampa y la diáfana vida de la clases
acomodadas. En Rinconete y Cortadillo, publicado por Miguel de
Cervantes en 1613, creemos ver el punto de partida de la extensa
novela de Dickens. Este artículo estudia los puntos de contacto entre
ambas obras, lo que obliga a una reflexión sobre las características del
género y también una indagación en la influencia de Cervantes en la
literatura inglesa.____________________________________
Charles Dickens took it upon himself to criticize the social
conditions in 19'h century England, of which he himself as a child had
been a potential victim, in the story of Oliver Twist, a young orphan
whose future as a delinquent or an upright member of society is the
subject of debate and intrigue. Rinconete and Cortadillo, written two
centuries earlier by Miguel de Cervantes, would seem to be a starting
point for Dicken's Oliver Twist as numerous points of contact can be
identified. This leads to the question of the characteristics of genre as
well as the influence of Cervantes on English literature.},
