Rambles in an Old City

by Susan Swain Madders

About the author

Susan Swain Madders is known for Rambles in an Old City, a work centered on Norwich that blends history, biography, politics, and local observation. Based on the available records found here, she appears to have been a nineteenth-century author with a clear interest in making the character of a city vivid for general readers.

Reliable biographical information about her is limited in the sources I could confirm during this search. Because of that, it is safest to remember her primarily through her writing, which reflects an antiquarian curiosity and an engaging interest in the life of Norwich rather than through a well-documented public biography.
