About this copy
The relationship between Georgina Hogarth and her brother-in-law Charles Dickens, and her sister Catherine, has long been a source of fascination. Drawing on unpublished correspondence, diaries, legal records and family reminiscences, Professor Adrian tells the story of a remarkable woman's seventy-five-year devotion to the Dickens household, from her years as its 'active spirit' to her role as the novelist's executrix, editor of his letters and guardian of his reputation. A handsome hardback complete with its original dust jacket, featuring a portrait of Georgina Hogarth after Augustus Egg, R.A.
