Edward Lloyd (1815-1890), publisher of london of the victorian era, was the protagonist of the plagiarism to the renowned writer Charles Dickens .

Hanwood has in this book how to the works of Lloyd, were even more well-known than the originals, and that, in the face of this, Dickens was outraged, because at that time the writer could not claim before a court.

The plagiarism and parodies that had to deal with Dickens were the of their peronsajes "Oliver Twist", "Nicholas Nickelby" and "Martin Chuzlewitt", which in the hands of Lloyd renamed to "Oliver Twiss", "Nickelas Nickelbery" and "Martin Guzzlewitt".

despite the plagiarism, Lloyd was a forerunner in the world of the british press.
