Abigail Ted

Abigail Ted is the debut author of, Oh dear, Maria! whose love for 18th and 19th-century fiction transformed into her telling the story of a dynamite damsel with precarious sanity.

Abigail is a PhD student who specialises in black-British authors of the abolition era, her obsession with 200-year-old novels and the writers who authored them is perhaps the first thing you’ll notice after meeting her.

For over a decade, Abigail has enjoyed reading and writing stories that ironise reality, all while securing her bachelor’s in history and education, and her master’s in theology. Today, she may be found munching inspiration from Richardson, Fielding, Austen, Thackeray et al., or perhaps roaming the wild with her mini-me.
