	Ellen Ternan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ternan made her stage debut in Sheffield at the age of three, and she and her two sisters were presented as "infant phenomena".
		Ternan was considered the least gifted of the three sisters, but she worked extensively in the provinces and in 1857 she was spotted by Dickens performing at London's Haymarket Theatre.

	AIM25: Senate House Library, University of London: Ternan family
		Administrative/Biographical history: Ellen Lawless [Nelly] Robinson (nee Ternan) (1839-1914), actress, was born on 3 March 1839 at 11 Upper Clarence Place, Maidstone Road, Rochester, Kent, the third of four children of the actors Thomas Lawless Ternan (1790-1846) and his wife, Frances Eleanor, née Jarman (1802-1873).
		Nelly's first adult engagement was in a burlesque at the Haymarket in 1857, and it was after this that she was engaged by Charles Dickens, with her mother and Maria, to perform with his amateur company in The Frozen Deep in Manchester.
		Maria Susanna Taylor (1837-1904) nee Ternan, sister of Ellen and Frances Eleanor, appeared with her sisters on the stage until her marriage, on 9 June 1863, to William Rowland Taylor, the son of a prosperous Oxford brewer.

		And finally, the actress Ellen Ternan, who unwittingly finds herself cast in the most challenging role of her life — the virgin child (and mistress) of Charles Dickens.
		It is a role that Ellen neither sought nor enjoyed, but she is drawn into it by complex forces.
		Ellen often perceives her purpose in life in terms of the stage where she is a “bit player” — she describes herself as appearing briefly on stage where she prat-falls to loud laughter and exits to be quickly forgotten — not a major talent.

		He was advised by doctors that he must rest but, in defiance of this advice, he embarked on a gruelling schedule of readings, including a tour of America in 1867-1868, which made him £19,000, but probably hastened his death.
		He seems to have established her in a series of houses on the outskirts of London and to have fitted frequent trips to see her around his other many and pressing engagements.
		He finally exhausted himself to the point of death, and died of a stroke in 1870, apparently in the dining room of his house in Gad's Hill, although it has been suggested that he in fact died at Ellen Ternan's house and was taken back to Gad's Hill already dead.

		During his 12-year relationship with Ellen Ternan, he always acquired a house or an apartment so that she could be near him wherever he travelled.
		Ellen was 18 when she made her London debut on the stage of the Haymarket Theatre on April 13, 1857.
		In June, 1865, Dickens and Ellen were returning from a holiday in Paris when, on their way to London, most of the carriages of their train plunged into a ravine at Staplehurst in Kent.

		In 1865, Dickens, Ternan and her mother were traveling together aboard a train that derailed, killing 10 people and injuring many more.
		Dickens assisted Ternan and her mother, came to the aid of other injured passengers and - never one to miss a deadline - even returned to the wreck to recover his manuscript of Our Mutual Friend.
		The exact nature of his relationship with Ternan is unknown, but Dickens' later works, such as A Tale of Two Cities, Great Expectations and Our Mutual Friend, were increasingly preoccupied with the theme of unrequited love.

	A Life of Fiction
		In fact, the man we know today, through biography, is entirely unlike the man known to his contemporaries, who inferred a certain "ungentlemanliness" (in the strict Victorian sense of not having the proper birth and educational credentials) from Dickens's often flashy mode of dress and taste for spectacle and theater.
		According to Ellen Ternan's biographer, Claire Tomalin, the discovery was deeply disturbing to him -- he would allow no Dickens works in his house and would even turn off the radio if Dickens's name was mentioned.
		The only thing Ternan ever said of the relationship, which she confided to her vicar in the 1880's, was that she had been Dickens's mistress, that she regretted the liaison and that she "loathed the very thought of this intimacy."

		Altho she evidently detached herself a couple of years before his death, Ellen was still summoned to his death bed by Georgina Hogarth and his eldest dauter Mamie, keepers of the vestal flame.
		In later life his second daughter Katie reminisced that there had been a “resultant son (who died in infancy)”; but it has to be said that she was something of a fantasist whose own ‘reputation’ as the wife of Wilkie Collins’ sick brother had not unimpeachable.
		It is as unlikely as the possibility that Mrs Ternan would have accepted – and indeed, on the evidence, supervised – a relationship which would have turned her daughter, in the eyes of the midVictorian world, into little more than a harlot.

		Barely 18 when they met, Ternan is now thought to have been a source of both inspiration (Helena Landless of The Mystery of Edwin Drood) and consternation (Stella in Great Expectations) to the beloved novelist.
		After casting three of the Ternans to act in a play, Dickens long unhappy with his obese, childlike wife is soon smitten, not by Maria as the Ternans expect, but by the quiet, attentive Ellen.
		With chapters written in the varying voices of Wilkie Collins (friend to Dickens and author of novels of such novels as 'The Woman in White'), Georgina Hogarth (the sister of Dickens' wife, Catherine), and Ellen Ternan (the young actress/mistress to Dickens), Rackham gives the reader creative perspective into the life of the 'inimitable' author.

		Being an actress, she was probably quite outspoken, a contrast to the meek persona that Catherine would seem to have from the manner in which Daniel Maclise, a friend of Charles', portrayed her in her portrait, (See portrait of Catherine to the left).
		Ellen and Charles remained close until they were parted in 1870, the year that Charles died.
		It seems that Ellen was a headstrong young lady, in that the characters inspired by her were not as meek and saintly as Charles' previous heroines.

		It isn't until actress Ellen Ternan, an 18-year-old slip of a girl, comes into his life that Dickens is tempted to stray.
		Although Dickens continues his affair with Ellen, he is always very conscious of the public's perception of him, and this ultimately comes between them.
		Rackham has chosen Collins, Ellen, and Dickens' hopelessly devoted sister-in-law, Georgina, to tell the story, and their characters are skillfully revealed through their interactions with Dickens and each other.

		But his private life concealed a profound secret: his thirteen-year affair with Ellen Ternan, a childlike actress who came from a family of traveling players.
		Barely eighteen when she met him, Ellen was everything Dickens' wife Catherine was not: boyishly slim, discreet, self-possessed, and, despite a sometimes bawdy career on the London stage, quietly demure.

		A witty, prettily written, and highly speculative account of the affair between the famous middle-aged novelist Charles Dickens and the penurious teenaged actress Ellen Ternan.
		When Ellen Ternan met Charles Dickens, she was 18 and he was 45.
		The story is one of those feminist renditions of history where where Nelly Ternan, Dickens' kept woman, is made into a great love of Dicken's life with some, albeit little, effect on his fiction.
