Pennell) Wikipedia, viewed Sept. 6, 2024: Elizabeth Robins Pennell (Not to be confused with the writer Elizabeth Robins (1862-1952). Elizabeth Robins Pennell (February 21, 1855 - February 7, 1936) was an American writer who, for most of her adult life, made her home in London. A researcher summed her up in a work published in 2000 as "an adventurous, accomplished, self-assured, well-known columnist, biographer, cookbook collector, and art critic"; in addition, she wrote travelogues, mainly of European cycling voyages, and memoirs, centred on her London salon. Her biographies included the first in almost a century of the proto-feminist Mary Wollstonecraft, one of her uncle the folklorist Charles Godfrey Leland, and one of her friend the painter Whistler. In recent years, her art criticism has come under scrutiny, and her food criticism has been reprinted. She grew up in Philadelphia. Her first book was the first full-length biography of Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-97). In June 1884, Elizabeth Robins married Joseph Pennell. The Pennells moved back to the United States towards the end of World War I, settling in New York City. After her husband's death, she moved from Brooklyn to Manhattan, dying there in February 1936. Pennell often made her contributions under pen names, such as "N.N." (No Name), "A.U." (Author Unknown) and "P.E.R." (her initials jumbled up).) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Robins_Pennell> |
