Pôsobivý obraz temného zločineckého podsvetia Londýna, príbeh sleduje Oliviera Twista, sirotu, ktorý čelí zlu a nepriazni od svojho narodenia, čo šokovalo čitateľov pri jeho vydaní. Po úteku z práce a pompézneho pána Bumblea sa Oliver dostáva do zločineckej skupiny plnej živých postáv, ako sú prefíkaný Dodger, brutálny zlodej Bill Sikes, jeho pes Bull's Eye a prostitútka Nancy, všetci pod dohľadom majstra zlodeja Fagina. Kombinujúc gotický román, prvky novely z Newgate a populárnu melodrámu, Dickens vytvoril nový druh fikcie, ktorý kritizuje krutú spoločnosť, preniknutú pocitom ohrozenia a tajomstva. Príbeh je prepracovanou kritikou spoločenských pomerov a zobrazuje ťažkosti, ktorým čelí chudoba a bezprávie.
