Charles Dickens mostly was writing his books in the form of serials. They were wordy so that they'd continue on for many editions of these literary magazines of the era. He really was writing pulp fiction, though, and while he had a great mind for stories, as an author, he probably compares more to Stephen King than any other contemporary. He was popular, productive and not particularly relevant for the way he constructed sentences.
