The Charity of Charles Dickens: His Interest in the Home for Fallen Women and a History of the Strange Case of Caroline Maynard Thompson is a book written by Edward F. Payne. The book explores the philanthropic work of Charles Dickens, specifically his involvement with the Home for Fallen Women, an institution that provided shelter and rehabilitation for women who had fallen into prostitution. The book delves into the history of the Home, its founding, and the work that was done there. It also examines Dickens' personal interest in the Home and the impact it had on his writing. The book also tells the story of Caroline Maynard Thompson, a woman who was admitted to the Home and whose case became a scandalous topic of discussion in the Victorian era. The author provides a detailed account of Thompson's life, her admission to the Home, and the events that led to her leaving the institution. The book also explores the social and cultural context of the time, shedding light on the attitudes towards women and prostitution in Victorian England. Overall, The Charity of Charles Dickens is a fascinating exploration of the philanthropic work of one of the most celebrated writers in English literature, and the impact it had on the lives of women in Victorian England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
