Agnes Strickland Knihy
Agnes Stricklandová bola anglická historička a spisovateľka. Jej rozsiahly a svedomitý výskum z nej urobil cenný zdroj pre štúdium britskej histórie. Hoci jej štýl nie je podľa dnešných štandardov celkom objektívny, poskytuje cenný pohľad na zvyky a normy jej vlastnej doby. Jej diela sa často zameriavali na ženské postavy a zahŕňali sociálne detaily, čo je charakteristické pre biografie viktoriánskych žien.
