| Summary: | Anna Jameson (1794-1860) was born in Dublin, Ireland and was the daughter of Dennis Brownell Murphy, Irish miniature painter. Her English mother is not named. She married in 1825 to Robert Jameson, a London barrister and later chancellor, afterwards speaker of the House of Assembly in Upper Canada; they separated in 1837. She was an art and literary critic, author, cultural historian, pamphleteer, feminist and governess. Jameson knew Fanny Kemble, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Jane Welsh Carlyle, Barbara Bodichon and Lady Noel Byron. Her experiences touring Europe as a governess gave her the material for 'Diary of an Ennuyée', among other works. |
