Shore, Emily ___ 1819-1839 ___ British ___ n/a

BIOGRAPHICAL SUMMARY
Emily was born at Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, the daughter of a clergyman. There is not much information about her on the internet. She and two sisters were all precocious, writing poetry and keeping diaries. Emily was also learned in languages, history and natural history. Her youthful diary, kept from the age of 11, is much admired. When she died in Madeira, where she had been taken to recover from consumption, her sisters edited and published extracts. All but two of the original volumes are lost.

IMPORTANT NOTES AND CAUTIONS: 1) The first line of basic information may be incomplete in several ways: some historical figures have different names (titles, pen-names); their birth and death dates may be unknown or uncertain (g - guess, c - circa); similarly, their occupations may be unknown, or they may have had other jobs; and, for early diarists, I've used 'British' a bit too freely. 2) The biographical summary may not be accurate. It was compiled quickly from various sources, mostly on the internet, and the facts were not checked anywhere near as rigorously as they would have been if they'd been intended for publication in a printed form. 3) The journal dates and descriptors (which are in no particular order) must be treated with caution: since I have not examined the diaries myself, the descriptors are only guesses based on bibliographies, anthologies and internet biographies. 4) For the biography and etext links, I have ignored any sites with charges, and I have avoided, wherever possible, those with pop-ups or too much advertising. I have limited myself to providing three etext links where there is some variety between them. 5) For the original manuscript links, I have limited myself to providing a maximum of two (although, for a few diarists, their original diaries are held in more than two places). 6) I have provided the titles - chosen randomly - for up to three printed editions of the diaries.
