chosen: Charles Dickens has been accused of following antisemitic stereotypes in his writing because of the characterization of Jewish characters in his stories. In particular, his portrayal of the character Fagin in the novel 'Oliver Twist' has been seen as a villainous, greedy, Jewish stereotype. He also often wrote about Jews in a negative light and presented them as a monolithic, faceless, oppressive force. This type of depiction is similar to that of other antisemitic writing of his time.
