In addition to the works listed below, Landon was responsible for numerous anonymous reviews, and other articles whose authorship is unlikely now to be established (compare Emma Roberts above). She also assumed the occasional pseudonym: for one, she adopted the name Iole for a period from 1825–27. Two of her Iole poems, "The Wreck" and "The Frozen Ship", were later included in the collection, "The Vow of the Peacock". On her death, she left a list of projected works. Besides "Lady Anne Granard" (first volume completed) and her "tragedy" (Castruccio Catrucani), there were: a critical work in 3 volumes to be called "Female Portrait Gallery in Modern Literature" for which she says she has collected a vast amount of material (only some portraits based on Walter Scott were produced); a romance called "Charlotte Corday" for which a plan was sketched plus a "chapter or two"; and a projected 2 volume work on "travels in the country I am about to visit, including the history of the slave trade of which I shall [have] the opportunity of collecting so many curious facts".

Between 1921 and 1940, Elizabeth Bibesco published three collections of short stories, four novels, two plays and a book of poetry. Her collections of short stories were reviewed on both sides of the Atlantic and her novel "The Fir and the Palm" was serialised in the "Washington Post" during November and December 1924. Katharine Angell, reviewing "Balloons" for "The Nation" in 1923 wrote, "Elizabeth Bibesco uses for her sketches material from which Katharine Mansfield would have made short stories and Henry James, novels ... Elizabeth Bibesco has a genius for compression, the compression into a few phrases of all the details of a situation, into a few pages the hopes and failures of a lifetime." Her last novel, "The Romantic", published in 1940, starts with a dedication to Jose Antonio Primo de Rivera, whom Elizabeth Bibesco had known during her stay in Madrid where her husband was Romanian ambassador (1927 - 1931): “"To Jose Antonio Primo de Rivera.

Stoddard was also a prolific writer of short stories, children's tales, poems, essays, travel writing, and journalism pieces. Her work combines the narrative style of the popular nineteenth-century male-centered bildungsroman with the conventions of women's romantic fiction in this revolutionary exploration of the conflict between a woman's instinct, passion, and will, and the social taboos, family allegiances, and traditional New England restraint that inhibit her.

Much of Elizabeth Edmondson's body of work has included characters and settings from Jane Austen's novels, written in a similar style of comedy and romance. She described Austen as possessing the same appeal as Mozart, "She was a genius, whose writing speaks to the soul while it enchants and delights... Because of her deep understanding of human nature, and her portrayal of the "comédie humaine", she transcends the gap of two centuries between then and now". Some have characterised Aston's books as fan fiction. She was one of the most prolific writers of Austen-related fiction, having produced stories featuring the Darcy, Collins, and Bingley families.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning was also a strong admirer, but believed that Fuller's unconventional views were unappreciated in the United States and, therefore, she was better off dead. She also said that Fuller's history of the Roman Republic would have been her greatest work: "The work she was preparing upon Italy would probably have been more equal to her faculty than anything previously produced by her pen (her other writings being curiously inferior to the impressions her conversation gave you)". An 1860 essay collection, "Historical Pictures Retouched", by Caroline Healey Dall, called Fuller's "Woman in the Nineteenth Century" "doubtless the most brilliant, complete, and scholarly statement ever made on the subject".
Margaret Fuller | Legacy and criticism
She studied drawing, painting, Latin, and French, and began to write poetry. In 1830 she married physician F.

Taking an excerpt from a favorite author, she filled in the grid reading left to right only; words were separated by black squares and continued below and to the left when necessary. Each blank square was assigned a number from 1, at the top left, to 178, at the bottom right corner. Her first selection was six lines from the poem “Ulysses” by Alfred, Lord Tennyson... Spelling out the poem in anagram tiles, she threw all 178 letters into a pot. From this alphabet soup she pulled out eighteen letters for the poet's name and seven for his work, which she set down in a column.

Her earliest attempts at literary composition were in verse. Her father was friendly with Edward Cave, the publisher, in whose fourth volume of "The Gentleman's Magazine", she published several pieces, under the pseudonym of “Eliza,” when she was only sixteen years old. Visiting London occasionally with her father, she was introduced by Cave to many literary persons, and among the rest to Dr Johnson, soon after his first settling there in the year 1737. In 1738, she published an anonymous collection of her poems, including those which had been previously printed in "The Gentleman’s Magazine".

Her later sketch, written in 1886, entitled, "Did She Care For Him?" also published by Figel in pamphlet form, was considered an improvement.

This work also includes a large section of an exchange of letters written to and by Elizabeth. Elizabeth made a name for herself by being one of the best neo-Latin poets of her time but also by having her work published in her own name. Elizabeth's writing included secular verse, classical knowledge, myth, history, and occasional verse, and touched on female traits of chastity and modesty. While not much more is known about Elizabeth's life after these publications, Ballard posits that her husband was still alive in 1605 because of the epistle she wrote, "Prague Nonis Marii", which was published the following year.

Jenkins published biographies of Lady Caroline Lamb in 1932 and of Jane Austen in 1938. She was involved in the establishment of the Jane Austen Society in 1940 and worked to purchase Austen's home in Chawton where she wrote "Emma" and other novels, and which later became the site of Jane Austen's House Museum. Her 1958 biography "Elizabeth the Great" "showed her biographical talents at their most effective" and provided what "The New York Times" called "a psychological dimension to her portrait that other historians had scanted", an attribute that could also be seen in her 1960 book "Joseph Lister".

She died in New York City, four days before her 91st birthday, on April 4, 1933, and was buried next to her husband at West Point.

After publishing her work there were many people who criticized her. However, Nihell fought back with anonymous publications, letters to the press, and a treatise titled "The Danger and Immodesty of the Present too General Customs of Unnecessarily Employing Men-Midwives" (1772). She even called one critic a buffoon, which was unheard of as women in this time period were not supposed to be outspoken.

According to historian Rosemary Mitchell, however, her work as art historian and writer was significant and original. Mitchell considers Eastlake to have been a scholarly and perceptive critic, and Marion Lochhead regards Eastlake as a 'pioneer of feminine journalism', whereas Janice Schroeder decries her values supporting women's subordinate place in the class structure within British imperialism.

Arnim would later refer to her domineering first husband by the Biblical title the "Man of Wrath" and writing became a refuge from what turned out to be an incompatible marriage. Arnim's husband's increasing debts eventually sent him to prison for fraud. This was when she created her pen name "Elizabeth" and launched her career as a writer with her semi-autobiographical, brooding, yet satirical "Elizabeth and Her German Garden" (1898). Detailing the protagonist Elizabeth's struggles to create a garden on the estate and her attempts to integrate into German aristocratic Junker society, it was such a success that it was reprinted twenty times by May 1899, a year after its publication.

Lady Elizabeth was a patron of the arts, as well as a writer. She was the author of five Huntington Library manuscripts: four copies of prayers, biblical extracts, and meditations, and one volume of sermon notes. Forty-six of her letters (written from 1605 until late 1632), which provide a keen insight into her life and personal sentiments, survive in the Hastings Collection of the Huntington Library. In one of these letters, she described a visit to the royal court where she watched the rehearsals and final production of a masque, at which she was kissed by both King James and Queen Anne.

"The Chicago Tribune", the "Los Angeles Times" Book editor, and most critics found that "her poem was too much like prose," and that "her delivery [was] insufficiently dramatic." The "Minneapolis Star-Tribune" found the poem "dull, 'bureaucratic' and found it proved that "the poet's place is not on the platform but in the crowd, that she should speak not for the people but to them."

The endorsement of the "Atlantic" opened all other U.S. magazine offices to its writers, allowing her to become a welcome contributor to the chief periodicals of the country, both in prose and poetry. Her first novel, "Sir Rohan's Ghost", published in 1859 in Boston, was a very striking work that showed her talent for skillful plot and effective dramatic denouement, as well as a few flaws, e.g., a crudeness of thought and expression apparent, that she overcame as she gained experience. This book was reviewed at some length in the "Crayon", an art journal then published in New York City.

Elizabeth Converse Nichols assisted her widowed mother as editor of the "Wellsville Globe", from 1942 to 1957. Layton became an artist in her sixties, when she took a drawing class at Ottawa University in 1977. Layton credited this new pursuit with curing her depression and comforting her grief over her son's death in 1976. Her works are often self-portraits, detailed pencil line drawings, sometimes humorous, with references to political issues such as women's rights and the threat to defund the National Endowment for the Arts over controversial art. She exhibited her drawings first in Kansas, and later throughout the US.

Her father enjoyed Stuart favour, her mother is said to have been worn down by the care of many children. It was to support her ailing mother that she took up writing. The subscription lists to her work contain many aristocrats which suggests the family had been well connected but had fallen on hard times. She first published poetry under the name of Louisa, "Variety:A Poem" (1727) and "Verses on the King's Birthday" (1730).

It contains veiled attacks on the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough, who twenty years previously had engaged in Jacobite intrigue but had abandoned their support in favour of what many saw as their own career advancement.

Elizabeth began writing articles and making speaking engagements praising the glory of what she presented as her "martyred" husband. Her three books—"Boots and Saddles" (1885), "Tenting on the Plains"—(1887), and "Following the Guidon" (1890) aimed at glorifying her dead husband's memory. Though generally considered to be largely factually accurate, they were slanted in George's favor. Elizabeth remained utterly devoted to her husband and never remarried. Despite having spent her life traveling extensively throughout the United States (including winters in Florida) and the world, she never visited the valley of Little Big Horn. She was said to treasure a letter from President Theodore Roosevelt who stated that her husband was "one of my heroes" and "a shining light to all the youth of America." Later that historians reexamined George's actions leading up to and during the battle and found much to criticize.

"The Independent" praised it as 'an impressive balancing act; while eruditely analysing Renaissance ideas and Elizabethan realpolitik it retains all the sexiness we have come to expect from books about the Tudors. ... Hilton is particularly good at describing how Elizabeth created an immediately recognisable image and then presented it through portraits rich in allegory.' It is dedicated to her daughter.
