Agnes Strickland

-
Standard Name: Strickland, Agnes
Birth Name: Agnes Strickland
AS , writing in the middle nineteenth century, won renown as a historian and biographer, particularly of the British royal family and particularly of its female members. In fact all of these books were co-authored by her sister Elizabeth , who, however, preferred that their books should appear in Agnes's name alone. AS also wrote poetry, songs, children's books, and novels.
Works by other Strickland sisters, notably Catharine Parr Traill , are frequently misattributed to AS by library catalogues.
