Charles Dickens was called “human hurricane” due to his
genius and great spirit.
His friends gave him the nickname “human hurricane” as they
all brushed aside their ordinary habits and occupations whenever he came to see
them. One of his friends, Mrs. Fields, stated that all these habits and occupations
were brushed aside until “human hurricane had swept by… The sense of genius
could not be more forcibly felt then in the hurrying flight of this great
spirit”.
