Geraldine Jewsbury’s works focussed on the chief concerns of her day including social change, the education of women, marriage, and faith. Jewsbury (1812 - 80) was an English novelist, book reviewer and prominent figure - best known for popular novels such as Zoe: the History of Two Lives, The Sorrows of Gentility, The Half Sisters, and Right or Wrong. She was also noted for her critical literary reviews for the Athenaeum. She took it on herself to encourage other women to reach their full potential. This gathering of Jewsbury’s letters, short stories, and essays makes long-unavailable material accessible for scholars, students, and general readers with modern introductions and notes.
