Beskrivelse
This is a great biography of Charles Dickens. Written in 1945, Pope-Hennessy was the first biographer to describe Ellen Ternan as Dickens’s mistress. It is interesting to read a woman’s take on Dickens’ life. She sympathises with Mrs Dickens’s situation at the various points throughout the marriage when Dickens’ behaviour with other women was questionable, to say the least. Although she also criticises Mrs Dickens for her lack of empathy with Dickens and his complex personality. A worthy addition to any bookshelf for the Dickens fan.
