Miss Dickens's Type-Writing Office, 26 Wellington Street
This is the location of Ethel Dickens's first independent type-writing office in which she was the sole proprietor. She opened this office at the end of 1887, possibly as early as October and certainly by December. It was located above the offices of All the Year Round, the literary miscellany magazine started by her grandfather, Charles Dickens, and inherited by her father, Charles Dickens, Jr. (better known as Charley Dickens).
Mapping the Lives of Ethel Kate Dickens
This map is a work-in-progress showing the locations at which Ethel Kate Dickens (b. 1864 - d. 1936) lived and worked. It is part of an ongoing biographical project to recover, understand, and appreciate the complexities of Ethel's many lives: the intellectual and interpretive labor of Dickens as a literary typist, her significance as a descendant of the author living in the spotlight of inherited celebrity status, and the nuances of her personal relationships -- particularly with her long-time "home-mate" Bertha Fanny Bradley.
