Some are now classic household names whilst others, popular in their time, lie neglected on the shelves. This collection of appraisals of female writers by female writers was published in 1897 as a contribution to the celebrations of Queen Victoria as the longest reigning British monarch. The brief is exact: only those whose work was done after the Queen's accession and who were dead would be included. Nonetheless, the range is wide and includes essays on the Brontës, George Eliot and Mrs Gaskell, by Margaret Oliphant, Eliza Lynn Linton and Ada Ellen Bayly respectively, as well as appraisals of Catherine Crowe, Mrs Archer Clive and Mrs Henry Wood (author of East Lynne), by Adeline Sergeant, and the children's authors Charlotte Tucker and Juliana Ewing by Emma Marshall.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePublishers' note\u003cbr\u003e The sisters Brontë Mrs. Oliphant\u003cbr\u003e George Eliot Mrs. Lynn Linton\u003cbr\u003e Mrs. Gaskell Edna Lyall\u003cbr\u003e Mrs. Crowe, Mrs Archer Clive, Mrs. Henry Wood Adeline Sergeant\u003cbr\u003e Lady Georgiana Fullerton, Mrs. Stretton, Anne Manning Charlotte M.
