Autorenporträt

Charlotte Campbell Lady Bury (1775-1861) was a notable figure during the Regency period who made her mark both in the literary and social circles of England. Born into the Scottish aristocracy as Charlotte Campbell, she was the daughter of John Campbell of Calder and possessed literary aspirations from a young age. Following her marriage to Colonel John Campbell, she became Lady Charlotte Bury and began her literary career. She is most renowned for her contribution to culinary literature with her book 'The Lady's Own Cookery Book, and New Dinner-Table Directory' (1844), which not only reflects the sophisticated tastes of the period but also provides a window into the domestic management and culinary practices of the aristocracy. Known for her keen sense of observation and detail, Lady Bury's work presents a blend of recipes and etiquette, illustrating her understanding of the societal norms of her time. Her writing style combined practical guidance with an elegant prose that catered to the interests of her contemporaries. Lady Bury's works also showcase the interplay of gender roles and class identity within the realm of domesticity, thereby making her a significant, though often overlooked, author in the studies of Regency culinary history and literature. Her contributions extend her legacy beyond her lifespan, offering valuable insights into the cultural fabric of 19th-century Britain.
