Charles Dickens' Biographies
[ Click here to purchase this paper ]
Charles Dickens' marriage to Catherine Hogbarth was one that defied the established norm of the Victorian era. Before the 1850s Dickens gave every evidence of being fond of his wife. Surely their having so many children together indicates a certain kind of love. At the age of forty five, Dickens separated from his wife. Many biographers feel that the cause of the dissolution was an affair the author had with the actress, Ellen Ternan. This 4 page paper is meant to be a comparison between two biographies of Mr. Charles Dickens. The biographies chosen are: Charles Dickens A to Z: The Essential Reference to His Life and Work by Paul Davis and Dickens by Peter Ackroyd. A third source has been added that provides both an extension to the two above and a different perspective than either of the above. In an article that appeared in Biblio in May of 1998, Janet S. Krueger and Kelley Blewster provided a more in depth look at the relationship of Charles Dickens and the actress, Ellen Ternan, than either of the selected biographies. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
