Georgiana Harcourt
Georgiana Charlotte Frances Harcourt (1807〔IGI: Baptism: 27 July 1807 Georgiana Charlotte Frances Harcourt at Parish Church, Dalston, Cumberland, England to Edward Harcourt and Anne Leveson-Gower〕 – 29 October 1886 〔Burkes Peerage 〕) was the daughter of the Archbishop of York. Her correspondence has been published, but she is primarily known for the novels of Gustav Freytag and the theological works she translated from German originals. Her husband, General Malcolm had a distinguished career in the British army.
==Biography==
Harcourt was born shortly before her baptism on 27 July 1807 in Dalston, Cumberland.〔 She was the youngest daughter of 16 children of Edward Venables-Vernon-Harcourt, the incumbent Bishop of Carlisle, and his wife Anne née Leveson-Gower. She would later live at Bishopthorpe Palace, the official residence of the Archbishop of York.
In 12 September 1835 when Princess Victoria visited Harewood House in Yorkshire with her mother, the Duchess of Kent she attended the local church service. Georgiana's father preached the sermon at the local church and many local dignitaries attended from Leeds and the surrounding area. On entering the church it was Henry Lascelles, the 4th Earl of Harewood who accompanied the Duchess of Kent, but the princess, and future Queen, was accompanied by Georgiana.〔(The Annals of Yorkshire from the Earliest Period to the Present Time By Henry Schroder ) accessed 11 December 2007〕
Harcourt corresponded with Wellington the Prime Minister〔(The Prime Ministers' Papers, 1801–1902: A Survey of the Privately Preserved ... By John Brooke, 1968, HMSO ) accessed 11 December 2007〕 between 1838 and 1849 (before and after her 1845 marriage) and with Sydney Smith within two years of his death. She was amongst the "most favoured of his fair correspondents".〔(Biographical and Critical Essays: Reprinted from Reviews, with Additions and ... by Abraham Hayward ) accessed 11 December 2007〕 Sydney had been a clergyman under her father the Archbishop. He writes to her in a carefree style:
"What a charming existence! To live in the midst of holy people; to know that nothing profane can approach you; to be certain that a Dissenter can no more more be found in the palace, than a snake in Ireland, or ripe fruit in Scotland. To have your society strong and undiluted by the laity to bid adieu to human learning; to feast on the Canons and to revel in the Thirty nine articles! Happy Georgiana!"〔(Essays in English Literature, 1780–1860 By George Saintsbury, 1972 ) Accessed 11 December 2007〕
