Memoir of a Victorian Woman
This memoir is an account of the childhood, courtship, marriage, and adult life of a fascinating, erudite late-Victorian woman. Written for her children after the death of her husband, Louise Creighton's reflections offer a rare glimpse into the domestic, intellectual, and social world of late-Victorian England.Louise met Mandell Creighton, then an Oxford don, at a John Ruskin lecture in 1871. Their years at Oxford and later in London when Mandell was Bishop brought them into contact with many thinkers and public figures of their day, including Ruskin, Beatrice Potter Webb, Mary (Mrs. Humphry) Ward, Edmund Gosse, Millicent Garrett Fawcett, and T. H. Huxley. Louise Creighton, although busy as the wife of an important cleric and the mother of seven children, wrote a number of historical works, including a Life of Edward the Black Prince (1876), Life of Walter Raleigh (1909), a Social History of England (1887), and Some Famous Women (1909), an early work of women's history.

This book shows how the Church was accepted as an essential element in society with university trained ...
Victorian Marriage
Mandell Creighton (1843-1901) was a famous historian and the first editor of the English Historical Review. His intelligence and energy made an impression upon everyone he met. Admired by Queen Victoria, only his untimely death stopped him becoming Archbishop of Canterbury. His wife Louise (1850 -1936) was a prolific historian in her own right. Her strength of character and organisational ability made her a natural leader of Victorian women's movements. The writings of this remarkable couple, especially their letters, reveal their relationships with each other and with their seven children, their work and home life, their servants, houses, holidays in Italy, and the pleasures of their lives together.
Historians and the Church of England
Historians and the Church of England explores the vital relationship between the Church of England and the development of historical scholarship in the Victorian and Edwardian era. It draws upon a wide range of sources, from canonical works of history to unpublished letters, from sermons to periodical articles, to give a clear picture of the influence of religion upon the rich and flourishing world of English historical scholarship. The result is a radically revised understanding of both historiography and the Church of England. It shows that the main historiographical topics at the time-the nation, the constitution, the Reformation, and (increasingly) socio-economic history-were all imprint...
