Charles Dickens

Certainly. His first works were probably motivated by his fundamental need to write and express himself to others. But he was always paid for his writing. And let us not forget that Dickens had ten children to provide for. Later in his life, when he separated from his wife, he also had to support at least two households (and possibly three), in addition to supporting his parents and various unemployed sons. So his need for money was a constant in his life. Only he could tell us which motivated him more, money or ego, but Dickens always was an extroverted, articulate, and intensely public man and loved such attention as his works brought him.
