Mrs Humphry Ward

Mrs Humphry Ward (1851-1920), maiden name Mary Augusta Arnold, was an English authoress, born at Hobart Town. She was a niece of Matthew Arnold. She translated Amiel's "Journal," a suggestive record, but is best known by her romance of "Robert Elsmere," published in 1888, a work which was a help to some weak people and an offence to others of the same class.
