Agnes Strickland Knihy
Agnes Stricklandová byla anglická historička a spisovatelka. Její rozsáhlé a svědomité výzkumy ji učinily cenným zdrojem pro studium britské historie. Ačkoli její styl není zcela objektivní podle dnešních standardů, poskytuje cenný vhled do zvyků a norem její vlastní doby. Její práce se často zaměřovaly na ženské postavy a zahrnovaly sociální detaily, což je charakteristické pro biografie viktoriánských žen.
