Isa Knox (writer) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Isa Knox (writer) Isa Knox (''née'' Craig; 1831–1903) was a Scottish poet of the 19th century. ==Biography== Isa Knox was the only child of John Craig, hosier and glover, born on 17 October 1831 in Edinburgh. In childhood she lost both parents, and was reared by her grandmother, leaving school in her tenth year. A close study of standard English authors developed her literary tastes; and, after contributing verses to ''The Scotsman'' with the signature ''Isa'', she was regularly employed on the paper in 1853. Coming to London in 1857 she was appointed secretary to the National Association for the Promotion of Social Science, and held the position till she married, in May 1866, her cousin, John Knox, an iron merchant of London. In 1858 she won with a resonant ode a prize of £50 offered at the Crystal Palace for a centenary poem on Burns. There were 621 candidates, among them being Frederic William Henry Myers, Gerald Massey, and Arthur Joseph Munby. After her marriage she contributed occasionally to ''Fraser'', ''Good Words'', and the ''Quiver'', edited the ''Argosy'' for a short time, and published some volumes of poems and juvenile histories. She died at Brockley, Suffolk, in December 1903.
