Ada Ellen Bayly : ウィキペディア英語版 | Ada Ellen Bayly
Ada Ellen Bayly (March 25, 1857 – February 8, 1903), a.k.a. Edna Lyall, was an English novelist, and an early feminist.〔G. Lindop, ''A Literary Guide to the Lake District'' (1993) p. 311〕 ==Biography==
Bayly was born in Brighton, the youngest of four children of a barrister. At an early age, she lost both her parents and she spent her youth with an uncle in Surrey and in a Brighton private school. Bayly never married and she seems to have spent her adult life living with her two married sisters and her brother, a clergyman in Bosbury in Herefordshire. In 1879, she published her first novel, ''Won by Waiting'', under the pen name of "Edna Lyall" (apparently derived from transposing letters from Ada Ellen Bayly). The book was not a success. Success came with ''We Two'', based on the life of Charles Bradlaugh, a social reformer and advocate of free thought. Her historical novel ''In the Golden Days'' was the last book read to John Ruskin on his deathbed;〔Drabble, Margaret (ed.) (1995), The Oxford Companion to English Literature (5th revised edition), Oxford, England: Oxford University Press.〕 while ''Hope the Hermit'' was a best-seller set in the Lake District which was later an inspiration for Hugh Walpole's ''Rogue Herries''.〔G. Lindop, ''A Literary Guide to the Lake District'' (1993) p. 311〕 Bayly wrote in all eighteen novels, many of them offering interesting explorations of the writer's creative process.〔Darby Lewes, ''Auto-poetica'' (2006) p. 67〕 Part of her success was due to her practice of using characters from one novel in a different capacity in her next.〔S. Mitchell, ''Victorian Britain'' (2012) p. 468〕
