About the author
Elizabeth Missing Sewell
150 books2 followersBorn in 1815 in Newport, on the Isle of Wight, Elizabeth Missing Sewell was the daughter of solicitor Thomas Sewell, and his wife, Jane Edwards. Her brothers included Henry Sewell, first premier of New Zealand; James Edwards Sewell, warden of New College, Oxford; Richard Clarke Sewell, reader in law to the University of Melbourne, and author of numerous legal works; and clergyman and author, William Sewell. She was educated at Miss Crooke's school in Newport, and at Misses Aldridge's school, in Bath, and returned home at the age of fifteen, in order to help teach her younger sisters.
Introduced to figures in the Oxford Movement by her brother William, and influenced by the religious debate of the time, Sewell began her first work, The Cottage Monthly, Stories illustrative of the Lord's Prayer in 1840 (it was published in book form in 1843). One of her most well known works, Amy Herbert, a novel intended for young girls, was published in 1844. Sewell lived with her mother, and some of her sisters, after the death of her father in 1842, assuming ever greater responsibility for the household's finances. She and her sister Ellen eventually took pupils, describing their efforts as a 'family home,' rather than a school. Convinced of the need for better education for middle class girls, Sewell founded St. Boniface School, in Ventnor. She died in 1906.
