- About The Author
- Eliza Lynn Linton (February 10, 1822 - July 14, 1898) was the first female salaried journalist in the United Kingdom and the author of more than 20 books. Despite her trailblazing role as an independent woman, many of her essays were strongly anti-feminist. Linton was the youngest of twelve children born in Keswick, Cumbria, England, to the Rev. James Lynn, vicar of Crosthwaite, and his wife Charlotte, the daughter of a bishop of Carlisle. Eliza's mother died when she was five months old, resulting in a tumultuous upbringing in which she was primarily self-educated, but in 1845 she left home to work as a writer in London. She married W. J. Linton, an outstanding wood-engraver who was also a poet of importance, a writer on his profession, and a Chartist agitator, after relocating to Paris in 1858. She moved into his ramshackle Lake District home, Brantwood, with his seven children from an earlier marriage, and wrote a novel set in the area, Lizzie Lorton of Greyrigg, there. For several years, the pair also lived in Gang Moor, on the outskirts of Hampstead Heath. They divorced peacefully in 1867, with her husband moving to America and Eliza returning to her job as a London writer.
