Charles Dickens and Georgina Hogarth: A Curious and Enduring Relationship
This fascinating biography explores the relationship between Charles Dickens and his sister-in-law, Georgina Hogarth.
Georgina was the sister of Dickens's wife, Catherine. She lived with the family from the early 1840s until Dickens's death in 1873. Infamously, when Charles and Catherine separated in 1858, Catherine was told to move out of the family home, but Georgina stayed. This fueled rumours of an affair, always strenuously denied by them both.
This fascinating study explores their relationship and the huge impact it had on both of them. The author doesn't hold back from exploring Dickens's sexual attractions, his often cruel behaviour to his wife but also the intense pressure that he was under for much of his life.
A must read for anyone wanting to know more about Dickens's private life, and the cost his fame took on him, and those around him.
