 Julia Pardoe was born in 1806 in Beverley, the daughter of a veteran of Waterloo. She travelled extensively abroad during her adolescence, an unusual experience for a girl of her time.

JP012) Speculation (1834, 3 vols) - page 1 of vol 1 is missing, so we have added the first volume of another set.

Not at the British Library; available only in the "Complete Works". Not the same as The Jealous Wife. JP0714) Abroad and at Home: Tales Here and There (1857) JP1415) The Thousand and One Days (1857) JP1516) Pilgrimages in Paris (1857) JP1617) The Poor Relation (1858, 3 vols) JP1718) A Life-Struggle (1859, 2 vols) JP1819) The Rich Relation (1862) JP19Our intention is to include, where possible, djvu versions of the first editions. Wherever such is unavailable, which is often, the closest available alternative is provided. A suitable djvu reader is Sumatra, which may be down-loaded from sumatrapdfreader.org/ Linux users might turn to Evince.There are several others; look at sourceforge.net/projects/djvu/files/ |

What is it with obscure Victorian (female) novelists, Uncle Henry? Explain your fascination here in 'The Third'!

Why not select a more significant female novelist from the nineteenth century, Uncle Henry? Jane Austen, for example, or Charlotte Brontë. One of my favourite quotations comes from the conclusion of George Eliot's masterpiece, ' Middlemarch': Gutenberg - Middlemarch |

The authoresses you mention are certainly not excluded kc; they will be brought in before long. In fact I am at present having difficulties with a lady named J.E.Panton, because a) more than half of her production is neither clearly fiction nor not, and b) more than half of her assumed fictional production is, unlike that of most other authoresses, unavailable for down-load anywhere anyway. So now is evidently a good moment briefly to turn to Mrs. Cross (or "George Eliot" as she liked to be known).

According to Wikipedia, Mary Anne Evans (22 November 1819 – 22 December 1880; alternatively "Mary Ann" or "Marian"), known by her pen name George Eliot, was an English novelist, poet, journalist, translator and one of the leading writers of the Victorian era. She is the author of seven novels, including Adam Bede (1859), The Mill on the Floss (1860), Silas Marner (1861), Middlemarch (1871–72), and Daniel Deronda (1876), most of which are set in provincial England and known for their realism and psychological insight.  Wikipedia - George EliotShe used a male pen name, she said, to ensure that her works would be taken seriously. Female authors were published under their own names during Eliot's life, but she wanted to escape the stereotype of women's writing only lighthearted romances. She also wished to have her fiction judged separately from her already extensive and widely known work as an editor and critic. An additional factor in her use of a pen name may have been a desire to shield her private life from public scrutiny and to prevent scandals attending her relationship with the married George Henry Lewes, with whom she lived for over 20 years. Eliot's Middlemarch has been described by Martin Amis and Julian Barnes as the greatest novel in the English language. We cannot but agree! |
