Autor

Anne Isabella Ritchie, the eldest daughter of William Makepeace Thackeray and Isabella Gethin Shawe, was a prominent English writer and literary figure during the late Victorian era. Born in London in 1837, she grew up surrounded by influential artists and thinkers, which deeply shaped her intellectual and creative development. Her writing career included several well-received novels such as Old Kensington, The Village on the Cliff, and Mrs. Dymond, which were known for their insight into domestic life and the quiet emotional landscapes of women. She combined a graceful narrative style with subtle psychological observation, distinguishing her from many of her contemporaries. Married to Richmond Ritchie in 1877, she had two children, William and Hester. Through her marriage and literary connections, she remained closely tied to the cultural elite of her time. Her influence extended beyond fiction; she helped preserve her father s legacy and contributed biographical sketches of his life. Ritchie was also known for mentoring younger writers and maintaining friendships with figures such as Virginia Woolf. She died in 1919 in Freshwater on the Isle of Wight, leaving behind a body of work that reflects a thoughtful engagement with the social and moral issues of her era.
