Oliver Twistse smatra prvim romanom na engleskom jeziku čiji jeprotagonistdijete[2]te je poznat po Dickensovom ne-romantičnom potretu kriminalaca i njihovih prljavih života.[3]Podnaslov knjige,The Parish Boy's Progressje aluzija naBunyanovThe Pilgrim's Progresste niz popularnih karikatura koje je u18. vijekunapravioWilliam Hogarth,"A Rake's Progress"and"A Harlot's Progress".[4]
Kao rani primjersocijalnog romana,knjiga je nastojala javnost upozoriti na niz tadašnjih društvenih zala, uključujućiZakon o siromasimaprema kome su siromasi morali raditi,dječji radkao i regrutiranje djece kao kriminalaca. Dickens ismijeava licemjerje svog vremena tako što ozbiljne teme romana okružujesarkazmomicrnim humorom.Neki smatraju da je kao inspiracija za roman poslužioRobert Blincoe,siroče čija su svjedočanstva o teškom životu djeteta-radnika u tekstilnom mlinu bili rado čitana1830-uih.
Oliver Twistje bio predmetom brojnih filmskih i televizijskih adaptacija, kao i iznimno uspješnogmjuziklaOliver!.
