They remained together for 22 years, but the marriage was not destined to succeed. Following a painful separation in 1858, Dickens accused Catherine of being a poor mother, mentally unstable and a generally unfit wife. This view has been challenged by modern scholars, while new acquisitions by the Charles Dickens Museum also highlight Catherine's warmth, kindness and affection for her children. So who was the real Catherine Dickens? What happened in the Dickens marriage to drive Charles and Catherine apart? And why has history remembered Catherine so badly? In this two part episode, we spoke to Lillian Nayder, author of 'The Other Dickens,' to try and discover the real Catherine Dickens. Part Two explores the breakdown of the Dickens marriage and Catherine's life after her separation. </video> <video> forgive his clumsiness, smartphones weren't around in his time Description: </video> <video> Live Readings Stream from Monday Description: What a way to chase away the the January blues! 😊 Join us on this literary adventure by subscribing to our Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@charlesdickensmuseum8862 </video> <video> Have you read David Copperfield? #shorts #charlesdickens Description: </video> <video> Lunchtime Live 1 - The Pickwick Papers Description: </video> <video> Which door do you prefer? #shorts #charlesdickens #history Description: </video> <video> A Tale of Two Cities with Lucinda Dickens Hawksley Description: We we're thrilled to be joined by Lucinda Dickens Hawksley, writer and historian, to walk about 'A Tale of Two Cities.'
