Items related to The Invisible Woman: The Story of Nelly Ternan and...
From 1857 until his death in 1870, Charles Dickens had a close relationship with the actress Ellen Ternan. The story isn't yet fully known, since even by the standards of his age, Dickens was exceptionally keen to preserve his reputation and strict secrecy was maintained, but Ellen may have had a child by him. Claire Tomalin looks at this and other aspects of the affair and her book aims to show that Ellen, the youngest of three highly gifted sisters from an acting family, was a fascinating person in her own right. The biography draws on previously undiscovered material, including photographs, as well as bringing together facts previously known but not yet satisfactorily related to each other.

Review:
"Captivating. . . . An absorbing book about...a character who helps to illuminate the life of a great artist and the life of her times." --Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times "As social history, literary criticism, and, not least, an absorbing detective story, The Invisible Woman is a wonderful book." --Newsday "Groundbreaking." --The Guardian (UK) "This is feminist biography at its best." --Leon Edel "Part social history, part detective story, wholly enthralling." --John Carey, The Sunday Times (London)
