Oxford See also:graduate and student of See also:law. He gave up his profession for literature, and afterwards became proprietor and editor of the English See also:Chronicle. After The Italian she gave up See also:writing for publication, and was reported to have been driven mad

She deserves at least the See also:credit of originating a school of which she was the most distinguished exponent; and none of her numerous imitators approach her in ingenuity of See also:plot, fertility of incident or skill in devising apparently supernatural occurrences capable of explanation by human agency and natural coincidence. She had a genuine See also:gift for scenic effect, and her vivid See also:imagination provided every tragic situation in her stories with its appropriate setting.
