Jane Ellen Panton (1847-1923) was the second daughter of the artist
William Powell Frith, and a journalist and author on domestic
issues. She grew up in London, where she developed an aesthetic and
practical interest in the various homes she lived in, and went on
to publish a series of advice guides on buying property,
decorating, and running households. Given her family's background
and diverse interests, art, literature and theatre were also
prominent in her life, as well as law and religion. First published
in 1908, this is Panton's revealing autobiography, in which she
recalls the places she lived, as well as the painters, actors,
writers, and religious and legal figures who were central to her
family's circle, influencing her tastes and interests. Offering a
portrait of a creative milieu in the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries, this book is both historically valuable and
highly readable.
