The family moved to London in 1823, but their fortunes were severely impaired. Dickens was sent to work in a blacking-warehouse when his father was imprisoned for debt. Both experiences deeply affected the future novelist. In 1833, he began contributing stories to newspapers and magazines, and in 1836 started the serial publication of \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003ePickwick Papers\u003c\/i\u003e. Thereafter, Dickens published his major novels over the course of the next twenty years, from \u003ci\u003eNicholas Nickleby\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eLittle Dorrit\u003c\/i\u003e.
