The vivid diary of the ten-year-old Emily, daughter of Retrieved 25 February 2014. ) This was later subtitled ''Lights and Shadows of the Anglican Church''.〕 ''Miriam'' was among a number of novels of the time dealing with Jewish conversion, in this case of an American girl, whom she transposes to Westmorland in the North of England. It was inspired by a report found by the author in ''The Cottage Magazine''.〔Google text. (Retrieved 25 February 2014. )〕 In the words of a recent survey of women writers in that period, "Conversionists insist that modern Judaism erects its rituals as a last-ditch defense against what the Jews really suspect, namely, that the religion has lost its spiritual center. This claim is at work in Charlotte Anley's ''Miriam''..., which features a fairly representative 'Jewish' argument in favor of ritual."〔Brenda Ayres: ''Silent Voices. Forgotten Novels by Victorian Women Writers'' (Praeger, 2003), p. 7.〕 The main female character of ''Earlswood'' departs from a Protestant Christian life for more ritualized Catholicism, but then realizes her mistake and thankfully returns to the former.〔Google text of first edition.
