Kate & Carlo Perugini | Dickens’s Artistic Daughter, Katey and Her True Love with Lucinda Hawksley

Welcome to Past Loves - the new weekly history podcast that explores affection, infatuation and attachment across time.

This week I am joined by author, art historian, public speaker and broadcaster Lucinda Hawksley to discuss the relationship between Katey Dickens, Charles Dickens’s artistic daughter, and her second husband Carlo Perugini.

As the great great great granddaughter of Charles and Catherine Dickens and the author of Dickens's Artistic Daughter Katey: Her Life, Loves & Impact, Lucinda is extremely well placed to discuss this true love match between the Peruginis - a love match rooted in the artistic world of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. This is a story about equality, companionship and a second chance at finding love.
