was the author of three early-nineteenth-century novels and of an unpublished diary and occasional poetry. Some of her satirical poems were published. She wrote her first novel as a personal testament and retaliation after her affair with Byron
, and her work has seldom been discussed other than in that context. Her later novels, however, move away from the personal.
