About the author
Born in 1862, she was educated privately before studying moral sciences at Newnham College, Cambridge, from 1880 to 1883. Archive records describe her as the daughter of Rosalie du Chemin and Stephen Tuker, and they also show that she left behind a substantial body of correspondence, press cuttings, and manuscript material.
She wrote on religion, ethics, and travel, and is especially associated with books on Rome and Cambridge. Several surviving editions and library records show her publishing detailed historical and descriptive works, including collaborations with Hope Malleson on Rome.
Some sources disagree on the year of her death, giving either 1954 or 1957. Since that detail is inconsistent across the records I found, it's safest to say that she lived into the mid-20th century and is remembered today for thoughtful, wide-ranging nonfiction shaped by scholarship and extensive travel.
