Summary: "A Book of Sibyls: Miss Barbauld, Miss Edgeworth, Mrs Opie, Miss Austen" by Ritchie is a biographical collection written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the lives and literary contributions of four prominent female authors from the early 19th century, namely Anna Lætitia Barbauld, Maria Edgeworth, Amelia Opie, and Jane Austen. These women significantly shaped the landscape of English literature, and their stories reflect both their personal experiences and the broader societal changes they navigated as female writers of their time. The opening of the text introduces Mrs. Barbauld, recounting the admiration she garnered as an author and educator, emphasizing her role in children's literature and her connections to significant literary figures of her day. The narrative captures nostalgic memories of Barbauld's peaceful rural upbringing and her scholarly household, detailing her early education and her literary journey as she transitioned from teaching to writing. In this portion, Ritchie sketches a portrait of Barbauld's character, revealing her sociability, literary talent, and the trials she endured, providing readers with a rich context for understanding the life and impact of a pioneering female writer in a male-dominated literary world.
