Georgiana Chatterton

11 November 1806 - 06 February 1876

GC published industriously from her early thirties until her death, so that her career spans much of the middle nineteenth century. As a novelist she always feels the pull of religious motivation for her writing, while as a travel writer she often has a humanitarian and reconciliatory purpose. She also did translation and editorial work, and published poetry and devotional writings.
