Before the Brontë sisters picked up their pens, or Jane Austen’s heroines Elizabeth and Jane Bennet became household names, the literary world was celebrating a different pair of sisters: Jane and Anna Maria Porter. The Porters were brilliant, attractive, self-made single women of polite reputation who between them published 26 books and achieved global fame. But history hasn’t been kind to the Porters. Credit for their literary invention was given to their childhood friend, Sir Walter Scott, who never publicly acknowledged the sisters’ works as his inspiration.

Fantastic history

I consider myself fairly well-versed in English literature, yet I had never heard of the Porter sisters. What fascinating, brilliant and admirable women! This book not only introduces them to the reader, it also provides an extensive and detailed portrait of the world in which they lived.
