Geraldine Endsor Jewsbury (1812-1880) was an English literary critic and author. She was born in Measham, Leicestershire. In 1845, Jewsbury had her first of five novels published. In addition, she wrote two stories for children, The History of an Adopted Child (1852) and Angelo; or, The Pine Forest in the Alps (1855). From 1848 to 1871, she contributed more than 1700 reviews to the Athenæum, a London periodical published weekly. She reviewed novels as well as works of non-fiction, children's books, and poetry. Charles Dickens was a great fan of Jewsbury's writing and in 1850 sent her a letter inviting her to contribute to his new weekly literary journal, Household Words. Jewsbury, who never married, is also noted for a collection of 126 letters she wrote to Jane Welsh Carlyle, the wife of historian Thomas Carlyle, during their more than fifty year friendship. Her other works include: Zoe: The History of Two Lives (1845), The Half-Sisters (1848), Marian Withers (1851), Constance Herbert (1855) and Right and Wrong (1859).
