About the author
Library and catalog records identify William James Roberts as an author born in 1873. He is associated with Mary Russell Mitford; The Tragedy of a Blue Stocking (1913), a biographical study of the nineteenth-century writer Mary Russell Mitford.
Other records connect him with books such as Picturesque London and The Cathedrals of England and Wales, showing a body of work centered on literary biography, architecture, and travel-style description. Although detailed personal information appears hard to confirm from the available sources, his publications place him among the many early twentieth-century writers who brought historical subjects and well-known places to a general readership.
