About the author
Lizzie Bates was a nineteenth-century author whose known works include The Gabled House; or, Self-Sacrifice, The History of Miss Indiana Danby, Woman, Purpose, Downward and Upward, Anchored, Stories from the Moorland; or, Tales of the Covenanters, and Stories of the Flowers.
The available sources point more clearly to her books than to her personal life. Listings from library and bibliographic projects show that she wrote fiction and religious or morally themed works for Victorian readers, with subjects ranging from household life and self-denial to Scottish Covenanter history.
Because reliable biographical details are limited in the sources I could confirm, it is safest to remember her through the body of work she left behind rather than through a well-documented life story.
