Memoir of a Victorian Woman: Reflections of Louise Creighton, 1850-1936 Book

This memoir is an account of the childhood, courtship, marriage, and adult life of a fascinating, erudite late-Victorian woman. Written for her children after the death of her husband, Louise Creighton's reflections offer a rare glimpse into the domestic, intellectual, and social world of late-Victorian England. Louise met Mandell Creighton, then an Oxford don, at a John Ruskin lecture in 1871. Their years at Oxford and later in London when Mandell was Bishop brought them into contact with many thinkers and public figures of their day, including Ruskin, Beatrice Potter Webb, Mary (Mrs. Humphry) Ward, Edmund Gosse, Millicent Garrett Fawcett, and T. H. Huxley. Louise Creighton, although busy as the wife of an important cleric and the mother of seven children, wrote a number of historical works, including a "Life of Edward the Black Prince" (1876), "Life of Walter Raleigh" (1909), "A Social History of England" (1887), and "Some Famous Women" (1909), an early work of women's history.Read More
