- Summary
- This volume is a biography of Ellen "Nelly" Ternan, who was for the last thirteen years of Charles Dickens's life, was his secret obsession and intimate companion. She was an actress but within a few years of meeting Dickens she left the stage and disappeared from public view. Her disappearance was considered essential for the protection of Dickens's good name with a public that idolized him. Nelly's three lives - as child actress, as hidden love and as ultra-respectable wife and mother - span the whole of the Victorian and Edwardian ages. Until now her story has been considered only in the light of its impact on Dickens. For the first time, the author has chosen to look at Nelly's story from her own point of view. This book is at once biography, literary criticism and social history, and contains an original and extraordinary account of the theatrical world that both nurtured Nelly and held Dickens in thrall throughout his life
