I don't really know any author's exact birth and death dates. Charles Dickens must have died in the 19th century, possibly in the second half of it.

Tess of the D’Urbervilles, I think was written by Thomas Hardy. This book was a classroom assignment. Maybe I was too young when I tried to read it, but it was a boring book to me at the time. So what if her husband forgave her! Women always forgive husbands. Why not a husband for a change!

Scrooge's business partner must be Marley since his ghost visits him in the beginning.

Utopia was by Thomas Moore. Another book I found possibly boring in my young age. I know it from English language classes, but I haven't read it.

For the last two questions, my answer is Charles Dickens and I read every book of his. He's probably my favorite, if I don't count the contemporaries.
