Memoirs of the Late Mrs Elizabeth Hamilton
Published in 1818, this two-volume biography of a novelist and writer on education includes journal extracts, letters, and satirical essays.
Memoirs of the Late Mrs. Elizabeth Hamilton
Elizabeth Hamilton (1758-1816) was a prominent figure in the Scottish intellectual landscape of her day. An Orientalist, a Roman historian, and a philosopher of education, she published highly successful books in all these fields, as well as doing pioneering practical work for the cause of women's education. Elizabeth Benger's text is still the only biography of this remarkable woman. Written by a friend of the Hamilton family, it includes an autobiographical fragment, extracts from Hamilton's journals, and letters to her friend and fellow-philosopher Dugald Stewart. This work has much light to shed on the developing position of women in intellectual life. It should be of interest to researchers in a variety of disciplines.

The Letters of Elizabeth Rigby, Lady Eastlake
This year marks the bicentennial of the English writer, translator, critic and amateur artist Elizabeth Rigby, Lady Eastlake (1809–93). The Letters of Elizabeth Rigby, Lady Eastlake brings together a comprehensive collection of her surviving correspondence and reveals significant new material about this extraordinary Victorian figure. Rigby wrote on a variety of subjects, most notably reviews of works and authors such as Jane Eyre, Vanity Fair, Ruskin, Coleridge, and Madame de Staël, as well as art-related criticism, including one of the earliest critical texts on photography. Her lively correspondence here shows how this well-connected woman played such an important role in the Victorian art world.
