About the author

Frances Eastwood is the author of Geoffrey the Lollard, a historical novel now available through Project Gutenberg. The book follows Geoffrey and his brother Hubert as they move through the hidden world of Lollard belief and persecution in late medieval England.

The surviving record available online is very slim, so not much about Eastwood's life can be confirmed from reliable public sources. What can be said with confidence is that her known work is rooted in religious history and uses fiction to explore conviction, danger, and resilience.

Because biographical details are scarce, Eastwood remains a somewhat mysterious figure. That scarcity can make the novel itself feel even more distinctive: it stands as the clearest window into her interests as a writer.
