Dinah Craik (1826 1887) was a prolific writer of fiction, poetry
and essays. She was best known for her novels, which appropriated
well-worked narratives of individuals triumphing over adversity
through hard work and moral integrity against a backdrop of
industrialisation and the ascent of the middle classes. The most
successful, John Halifax, Gentleman, tells the tale of a boy who
works his way out of poverty. Craik herself was familiar with
hardship: her father Thomas Mulock, a nonconformist minister, had
spent periods confined to a lunatic asylum, and abandoned his
children after his wife's death in 1854. In this work (originally
published serially in Chambers's Journal of Popular Literature,
Science and Arts), Craik provided support and advice for single
women like herself. She was highly critical of learned helplessness
and advocated independence and cross-class sympathy, believing
women should 'lead active, intelligent, industrious lives: lives
complete in themselves'.
