Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of Margaret Catchpole Three personalities interest us in reading the novel of Margaret. Catchpole - the author, the heroine, and the author´s mother, in whose service the real Margaret Catchpole was employed. Neither the author nor his mother has been the subject of much biographical effort, although Richard Cobbold was an industrious novelist, poet, and essayist for a long period of years, and wrote this one book that will always, I think, be read. His mother, Elizabeth Cobbold, made some reputation as a writer of verse, and is immortalized for us in Charles Dickens´s Mrs. Leo Hunter. Fortunately we have a sketch of her by one Laetitia Jermyn, dated 3825, and attached to a volume of Poems, published at Ipswich in that year. Laetitia Jermyn tells us that Elizabeth´s maiden name was Knipe, and that she was bom in Watling Street, London, about 1764, her father being Robert Knipe of Liverpool. In 1787 she published a little volume of verse entitled Six Narrative Poems, which she dedicated to Sir Joshua Reynolds, evidently by permission. It is clear that in girlhood she bad made the acquaintance of the great painter. Her biographer says nothing about her being an actress, but it is a tradition in Ipswich that this was for a time her profession.
