Catherine Dickens Life

Catherine Thomson "Kate" Dickens (née Hogarth, 19 May 1815 – 22 November 1879) was the wife of English novelist Charles Dickens and the mother of his ten children.

Early life

Catherine was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1815, and her family immigrated to England in 1824. To George Hogarth, she was the eldest daughter of ten children. Her father was a reporter for the Edinburgh Courant and later became a writer and music critic for the Morning Chronicle, where Dickens was a young journalist and later the editor of the Evening Chronicle. Dickens immediately took to the gorgeous 19-year-old Catherine and invited her to his 23rd birthday party. Catherine and Dickens married in 1835 and were married in St Luke's Church, Chelsea, on April 2nd, 1836, just south of Chatham, Kent. They established a home in Bloomsbury and went on to have ten children. And if he were to be wealthy and famous, he would never be as content as he was in Catherine's tiny apartment.

Catherine Hogarth's sister and brother-in-law were able to assist her newly married sister and brother-in-law at Dickens' Doughty Street home. It was custom for an unwed sister of a wife to live with and support a newly married couple. Dickens became attached to Mary, and he died in his arms after a brief illness in 1837. In several of his books, she was a protagonist, and her death is depicted as the death of Little Nell.

Georgina Hogarth, Catherine's younger sister, joined the Dickens family farm in 1842 when Dickens and Catherine sailed to the United States, caring for the young family they had left behind. Dickens wrote a letter to a friend that Catherine never felt gloomy or lost confidence during their long journey by sea, and they "adapted to any circumstance without complaint." Charles Dickens produced Every Man in his Humour, an amateur dramatic aimed at Leigh Hunt in 1845. Catherine Dickens, a minor actress, collapsed through a trap door in a subsequent performance. What Shall We Have for Dinner? Catherine Dickens wrote a cookery book in 1851 as 'Lady Maria Clutterbuck,' What Shall We Have for Dinner? Multiple Bills of Fare For From Two to Eighteen Persons, Satisfactorily Answered. It contained many suggested menus for dishes of varying complexity as well as a few recipes. It didn't exist in several versions until 1860. Dora Annie Dickens, who died in 1851, suffered with a nervous breakdown after her daughter's death.

Dickens came to Catherine as a young mother and housekeeper, blaming her for their ten children's birth, which sparked financial worries. After the birth of their fourth son Walter, he hoped to have no more, and he said that her coming from a large family had caused so many children to be born. In order to commit her in a bizarre asylum, he even attempted to have her diagnosed as physically impaired in order to admit her to an insane asylum. He ordered their bed to be divided and then place a bookshelf in between them to prevent any more children from being born. Catherine and Ferdinand's divorce, which was mistakenly delivered a bracelet meant for Ellen Ternan, was widely circulated, and rumors of Dickens' affairs were numerous, many of which Dickens' affairs were denied outright.
