註釋Agnes Strickland (1796/1806-1874) was an English historical writer and poet. She was educated by her father, and began her literary career with a poem, Worcester Field, followed by The Seven Ages of Woman and Demetrius. Abandoning poetry, she next produced, among others, Historical Tales of Illustrious British Children (1833), The Pilgrims of Walsingham (1835) and Tales and Stories From History (1836). Strickland's researches were laborious and conscientious, and she remains a useful source, but she failed to exercise the level of objectivity that a modern historian would aspire to. Her other works include: The Lives of the Seven Bishops Committed to the Tower in 1688 (1866) and The Royal Brothers (1875).
