Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Three Generations of English Women: Memoirs and Correspondence of Susannah Taylor, Sarah Austin, and Lady Duff Gordon Mrs. John Taylor, the first subject of these Memoirs, was a remarkable woman, whose house at Norwich was the resort of many of the most cultivated men and women of her day, whose friendship was prized and valued by them. People used to say it was worth a journey to Norwich to spend an evening with her. She brought up her children with an unflinching love of truth and a horror of debt. Not ashamed of being poor, she attended to all the small details of daily life, in the midst of which she found time to read and appreciate philosophy and poetry, and to think for herself. The Taylor family for several generations has produced men and women distinguished by literary and scientific ability: they and their forbears belonged to the Presbyterian party, and disliked the Independents almost as much as the Tories. It is saying in Norfolk, that if a collection were made of the works of the Taylors of Norwich, it would form a respectable library.
