Mary Howitt (1799-1888) was one of the most prolific female writers
and translators of her day, producing over a hundred titles in her
lifetime. Held in high regard by her contemporaries, Howitt was
best known for her Scandinavian interests, particularly for her
translations of Frederika Bremer and Hans Christian Andersen. She
also published numerous collections of poetry and stories,
sometimes in partnership with her husband, the writer William
Howitt. This two-volume autobiography was published posthumously in
1889, and was completed and edited by her daughter Margaret. Volume
2 focuses on the second half of Howitt's life, much of which was
spent moving between England, Switzerland, Italy and Austria. It
describes the death of two of her sons, her own and William's
involvement with spiritualism, the death of her husband, and her
eventual conversion to Catholicism. For more information on this
