Elizabeth Robins Pennell

    Elizabeth Robins Pennellová bola americká spisovateľka, ktorá väčšinu dospelého života strávila v Londýne. Jej rozsiahla tvorba zahŕňala cestopisy, najmä z európskych cyklistických výprav, a spomienky zamerané na jej londýnske salónne kruhy. Písala tiež biografie, umeleckú a kulinársku kritiku, pričom jej práce o Mary Wollstonecraftovej a jej umelecká a kulinárska kritika si v posledných rokoch získali obnovený záujem. Pennellová bola známa svojim dobrodružným a sebavedomým prístupom k písaniu, čo z nej urobilo významnú postavu literárneho sveta svojej doby.
