The Charity of Charles Dickens is a book written by Edward F. Payne that explores the philanthropic work of the famous author Charles Dickens. The book focuses on Dickens's interest in the Home for Fallen Women, a charitable organization that provided shelter and support to women who had fallen into prostitution or other forms of vice. The author delves into the history of the Home for Fallen Women and its founder, John Binny, as well as the role that Dickens played in supporting the organization. The book also examines the strange case of Caroline Maynard Thompson, a woman who was accused of stealing from the Home for Fallen Women and whose case was championed by Dickens.Through his research, Payne sheds light on the social and cultural context of Victorian England, particularly the issues surrounding prostitution and the treatment of women who had fallen into vice. The book offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and work of one of the most celebrated authors of the 19th century and his commitment to social justice and charitable causes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
