Was Charles Dickens parents alive when achieved fame?
Charles Dickens' parents did, indeed, live to see their oldest son become rich and fabulously famous. They sound like rather unpleasant people, who refused to live within the father's income and sponged off Dickens till the end of their lives. His mother tried to return him as a child to the blacking factory, even after it became financially necessary and he never forgave her for that. Dickens' father tried to make money by selling his son's signature and attempted to use his son's reputation as collateral for loans. Dickens was deeply embarrassed by this and was emotionally alienated from them most of his adult life.
