Autor

Catherine Grace Frances Gore was an English novelist and dramatist born on February 12, 1798, in London. She was the daughter of a wine merchant from Retford, Nottinghamshire. Gore is best known for being a prominent figure in the "silver fork" genre, which depicted the lives, manners, and etiquette of high society during the Regency period. Her works provided a glimpse into the aristocratic world, often focusing on themes of gentility and the social intricacies of the upper class. Gore married Charles Arthur Gore and had two children, Augustus Frederick Wentworth-Gore and Cecilia Anne Mary Gore. She also wrote several plays, including "The School for Coquettes" and "Quid Pro Quo." Gore's influence in 19th-century British literature extended beyond her novels, as her detailed portrayal of social norms and relationships resonated with readers of the time. She passed away on January 29, 1861, in Linwood, leaving behind a significant literary legacy.
