Autor

George de Horne Mrs. Vaizey, often published simply as Mrs. George de Horne Vaizey, was the pen name of Jessie Bell (née Mansergh), an esteemed English writer born on January 25, 1857. She married Henry Mansergh, a cotton broker, and later George de Horne Vaizey, whose surname she adopted professionally. Mrs. Vaizey gained prominence in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for her contribution to domestic fiction, well-known for delving into the lives and experiences of middle and upper-class families with a particular focus on the experiences of women as they navigate personal growth, societal expectations, and educational pursuits. 'A College Girl' is one of her most celebrated works, offering insightful commentary on the challenges and opportunities that girls faced in the realm of higher education during the era. This novel, like her others, is distinguished by its compelling characterization, engaging plots, and the keen observation of contemporary manners. Vaizey's writing style often includes a didactic element, implicitly imparting moral lessons to her readers. Her legacy endures in the early feminist literary canon, reflecting the evolving roles and rights of women in society. She continued to write prolifically until her death on January 23, 1917, leaving behind a substantial oeuvre that remains of scholarly interest for its portrayal of female agency in Victorian and Edwardian England.
