Eliza Cook Quotes

December 24, 1818 – September 23, 1889

Eliza Cook (24 December 1818 – 23 September 1889) was an English author born in Southwark. She attended the local Sunday Schools and was encouraged by the son of the music master to produce her first volume of poetry. From this she took confidence and in 1837 began to offer verse to the radical Weekly Dispatch, then edited by William Johnson Fox. She was a staple of its pages for the next ten years. She also offered material to The Literary Gazette, Metropolitan Magazine and New Monthly.
