  • Summary

  • In 1858 Charles Dickens separated from his wife, Catherine. Catherine moved out of the family home, but her sister remained living with Charles.

    Spurious gossip soon followed, accusing Dickens of having an affair with his own sister-in-law, and even that she had been forced to give birth to three illegitimate children.

    So what was happening in the Dickens household? Who was this enigmatic sister-in-law? And what role did she play in the break down of the Dickenses marriage.

    For this episode, Jordan Evans-Hill was joined by Christine Skelton, author of 'Charles Dickens and Georgina Hogarth: A Curious and Enduring Relationship.'
