Autorenporträt
Agnes Strickland was an English historical writer and poet born in 1796, best known for her extensive works on royal biographies, especially Lives of the Queens of England. Daughter of Thomas Strickland and Elizabeth Homer, she grew up in a family that valued education equally for sons and daughters, which was uncommon at the time. Alongside her siblings, many of whom became writers, she was educated by her father. Strickland began her literary career with poetry but later turned to historical writing, producing notable works such as Historical Tales of Illustrious British Children and Lives of the Queens of Scotland. Her meticulous research and engaging anecdotal style provide valuable insights into Victorian social customs, although her approach is less objective than modern historians. Many of her major biographical projects were collaborative efforts with her sister Elizabeth, who preferred to remain anonymous while Agnes received public credit. Agnes was connected to prominent literary figures and her sisters Susanna Moodie and Catharine Parr Traill gained fame for their accounts of pioneer life in Canada. Her work remains a significant source for Victorian-era history and biography.
