-
Standard Name: Gunning, Elizabeth
Birth Name: Elizabeth Gunning
Pseudonym: Miss Gunning
Nickname: Gunnilda
Nickname: Miss Charlemagne
Nickname: Miss Charly
Married Name: Elizabeth Plunkett
published, mostly during the later eighteenth century, a number of novels (including the one of her late
's which she finished), translations, a children's book, and two unacted plays. Many appeared before her marriage, and there has been some confusion with her mother's work. Both Gunnings are acutely class-conscious, centring many plots on wished-for ascent to the nobility (whose vices as a class they nevertheless strongly condemn): a motif which
neatly reverses in her last.
