Oliver Twist, or The Parish Boy's Progress, is the second novel by Charles Dickens, and was first published as a serial 1837–9. The story is of the orphan Oliver Twist, who starts his life in a workhouse and is then sold into an apprenticeship with an undertaker. He escapes from there and travels to London where he meets the Artful Dodger, a member of a gang of juvenile pickpockets, which is led by the elderly criminal Fagin.
Oliver Twist is notable for Dickens's unromantic portrayal of criminals and their sordid lives, as well as exposing the cruel treatment of the many orphans in London in the mid–nineteenth century. The alternate title, The Parish Boy's Progress, alludes to Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress, as well as the 18th-century caricature series by William Hogarth, A Rake's Progress and A Harlot's Progress.
An early example of the social novel, Dickens satirizes the hypocrisies of his time, including child labour, the recruitment of children as criminals, and the presence of street children. The novel may have been inspired by the story of Robert Blincoe, an orphan whose account of working as a child labourer in a cotton mill was widely read in the 1830s. It is likely that Dickens's own youthful experiences contributed as well.

I'm back and I'm solo
This is the Oliver Twist manifesto
For the age I was born, for Victoriana
This is Oliver Twist pissing over Britannia
50 years of Tin Pan Alley
I learned good from a king thief mentor
200 years of teenage anarchy
Papist threats and no popery
Revenge ???? the cold in Soho
This is the Oliver Twist manifesto
Totality for the kids
Oliver Twist
This is Oliver Twist
There was this gang who I used to run with
Swindlers, knaves, urchins scum, spivs
Looking good comes in handy
When you're dipping from the pockets of a dandy
And there's murder in the air at the Connelli room
And there's treason in the air at the Groucho
If there's a TV pop in the Soho house
It doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to tell you
That it's Oliver Twist
Doing it for the kids
Keep the boy on gruel
There's a young British artist in the room
This is Oliver Twist
What if all of the village idiots
And all the raspberry ripples
Are just putting it on
And they're the brightest of all of the cripples?
Oliver Twist I cartarista
Disappear into a pea souper
Swooping down like the Hun
Over the gas-lit streets of London
Into a pea souper
A Cartarista
Unto you my children I bestow this gift
It's a ballroom blitz
This is Oliver Twist
This is Oliver Twist
A cartarista
Into a pea souper
Totality for the kids
Oliver Twist
Swooping down like the Hun
Swooping down over Soho
It's the Oliver Twist manifesto
