[209]-210) and index. 520 8 $a Charles Dickens was regarded as a pillar of respectability in Victorian Britain, but in 1858 this image was nearly shattered. With the break-up of his marriage that year, rumours about a scandalous relationship he may have conducted with young actress Ellen "Nelly" Ternan flourished. For the remaining twelve years of his life, Dickens struggled to quash the gossip. After his death, surviving family members did the same. But when the author's last living son died in 1934, there was no one to discourage rampant speculation. Dramatic revelations seemed to come from every corner - over Nellie's role as Dickens' mistress, the financial help he gave her, their clandestine meetings, their coded messages, and even his fathering of an illegitimate child with her. This book presents the most complete account of the scandal and ensuing coverup ever published. 600 10 $a Dickens, Charles, $d 1812-1870 $x Relations with women. 650 0 $a Novelists, English $y 19th century $v Biography. 941 $a 5 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180106053718.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826065024.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20150507020043.0 952 $l PRAX771 $d 20130302010731.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20121212010655.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AD4D54BE442911E291A2C1B1DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
