Constance Hill

Constance Hill was an English author and editor born in the mid-1840s and died in 1929. She is best remembered for literary and historical works including Jane Austen: Her Homes and Her Friends, as well as books on Fanny Burney, Maria Edgeworth, and Mary Russell Mitford.

Her writing often centered on writers, families, and the social world around them. In Jane Austen: Her Homes and Her Friends, created with illustrations by her sister Ellen G. Hill, she retraced Austen's life through the places she knew and drew on family papers and portraits, giving readers an early, lively kind of literary pilgrimage.

Hill also edited Frederic Hill: An Autobiography of Fifty Years in Times of Reform, connecting her work to a wider family background of reform and public service. A confirmed portrait image was not clearly available from the sources I checked, so no profile image is included here.
