Charles Dickens had a close and controversial relationship with actress Ellen Ternan, which began around 1857 when she was a young woman and he was already a prominent author. Their affair is believed to have lasted for over a decade, and it became more public after Dickens separated from his wife, Catherine. Ternan inspired some of Dickens's later works, and their relationship has been the subject of much speculation regarding its emotional depth and the implications of Victorian society on their lives. After Dickens's death in 1870, Ternan largely faded from public view and lived a quiet life.
