Torn and Happy
Time: Monday Oct 21, 1850
Place: England, United Kingdom
Details: Dickens marked the end of his manuscript on 21 October 1850 and felt both torn and happy like every time he finished a novel: "Oh, my dear Forster, if I were to say half of what Copperfield makes me feel to-night, how strangely, even to you, I should be turned inside out! I seem to be sending some part of myself into the Shadowy World".

Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
