About the author
Born Ethel Duncan in Liverpool in 1856, she became known as a writer with strong religious interests and a lasting connection to the intellectual world around her. She married the evolutionary biologist George John Romanes in 1879, and after his death she edited and wrote The Life and Letters of George John Romanes, the book for which she is most often remembered.
Her writing reached beyond biography. She also wrote historical and religious works, including The Story of Port Royal, showing a taste for subjects where belief, character, and history meet. That mix helps explain why her work still attracts readers interested in both ideas and lives.
Romanes died in 1927. Reliable pages confirm the broad outline of her life and work, but I could not confirm a clear portrait image from the page images available during this search, so no profile image is included.
