, publishing from the late 1830s to the final decade of the century, remained always anonymous and worked mostly in marginal genres, with the result that she is little known and several of her books are not listed under her name in library catalogues. As an editor she produced poetry anthologies, and texts of the essays, sermons, and letters of a younger brother, as well as of the letters of Cardinal Newman
. She also published stories for children, and contributed essays and reviews to periodicals, which amount to a significant body of literary criticism.
By her marriage HM
became the sister-in-law of Anne Mozley
; the two were already friends and became published writers at about the same time.
