2 unusual facts about Isabella Frances Romer


Isabella Frances Romer

Romer was described by a near-contemporary, the Irish writer Richard Robert Madden, as a "shrewd, lively, mystery-loving, and 'a leetle conceited,' occasional authoress, prone to expatiate rather extensively on these merely personal, and regarding her own feelings, but always redeeming slight defects of that nature by vivid delineations, and smart, interesting, and entertaining descriptions."

She began in 1840 to contribute sketches and short stories to Bentley's Miscellany and other periodicals, including the great rival to Bentley's, Henry Colburn's New Monthly Magazine.
