Henrietta Rouviere Mosse

HRM published about ten novels and a volume of short fiction with the Minerva Press and its successor during the early nineteenth century; writing at first for pleasure, then out of increasingly desperate financial need. Her fiction is melodramatically plotted but well-written, with skilful handling of dialogue both fashionable and low-life, and with scenes ranging through London, the English provinces, Scotland, France, and Italy.
