Oliver Twist, also known as The Parish Boy's Progress, represents Charles Dickens' second novel, initially being published as a serial between 1837 and 1839. The narrative follows the journey of orphan Oliver Twist, commencing in a workhouse and subsequently being indentured to an undertaker. Oliver eventually escapes, making his way to London, where he crosses paths with the Artful Dodger, a member of a group of young pickpockets under the guidance of the elderly criminal Fagin.

Oliver Twist stands out for Dickens' unidealized depiction of criminals and their grim existence, shedding light on the harsh realities faced by numerous orphans in 19th-century London. The subtitle, The Parish Boy's Progress, draws parallels to Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress, along with the satirical series by William Hogarth from the 18th century, namely A Rake's Progress and A Harlot's Progress.
