# Dickens resented his wife Catherine for 'giving him' so many children, and never seemed to understand the part he played in the gift. This resentment probably played a big role in their separation. # He worked in a blacking (shoe polish) factory when he was 11, applying labels to bottles. He was very ashamed of this and kept it a dead secret, even from his family, all his life. # He was something of a popinjay, dressing rather flambouyantly. # The name 'Dickens' originated in Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor and was used as a substitute for 'the devil,' as in 'what the dickens?'
