The Works and Women of Charles Dickens
This lecture examines the life of Charles Dickens and its impact on his writing. Specifically, it looks to the women in his life and how they shaped the man who would become the most popular man in England. We will see how these women (his mother, his nanny, his girlfriend, his wife and others) affected him emotionally and how events surrounding them came to life in the numerous books he produced.
