Jewsbury, Geraldine Endsor (1812–80), an intimate friend of the Carlyles. Besides contributing to the Athenaeum, the Westminster Review, and other journals, she wrote six novels, including Zöe (1845), The Half Sisters (1848), and Marian Withers (1851), and two stories for children. A Selection from the Letters of Geraldine Jewsbury to Jane Carlyle (1892, edited with a memoir by Mrs A. Ireland), gave undue emphasis to the emotional element of the friendship between the two women and was the subject of an interesting article by V. Woolf (‘Geraldine and Jane’, TLS, 28 Feb. 1929).
