- Synopsis
- Catherine Hogarth married Charles Dickens in 1836, the same year he began serializing his first novel. After 18 years of marriage and 10 children, he pressured her into leaving their home in order to pursue another woman, claiming that she was 'mentally disordered. ' This biography gives details on Catherine Hogarth's family of origin as well as her family of marriage and shows that she was not 'mentally disordered. ' Nayder, professor and chair of English at Bates College, offers insights into the relationships among the four Hogarth sisters and examines the legal and emotional ambiguities of Catherine's position as a 'single wife' in the Victorian age. The book includes b&w historical illustrations. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
