About the author
Born Annie Jane Tennant and later known as Annie Jane Harvey, this British author wrote under the name Andrée Hope. Records from the National Portrait Gallery identify her as an author connected with Ickwell Bury, and specialist Victorian bibliography sources list her dates as 1825–1898.
Her work appears to have moved comfortably between nonfiction and fiction. She wrote Chronicles of an Old Inn; or, A Few Words about Gray's Inn in 1887, a book rooted in the history and atmosphere of one of London's Inns of Court, and later published fiction including Vyvyans; or, The Murder in the Rue Bellechasse in 1893.
What stands out about her career is its mix of observation and storytelling. The name Andrée Hope is attached to writing shaped by Victorian social worlds, travel, and place, making her an appealing rediscovery for listeners interested in lesser-known nineteenth-century authors.
