Opinion Colin Alexander: Hero or villain – did Dickens create the cruel capitalist Christmas?

A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas (now known simply as A Christmas Carol) was a novella published by the great Victorian writer Charles Dickens in December 1843. It was arguably his greatest success as an author, remains his best-known work, and has been the inspiration behind modern productions like the films Scrooged (1988), The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) and the television special Blackadder’s Christmas Carol (1988).
