Summary "Critical Miscellanies (Vol. 3 of 3), Essay 6: Harriet Martineau" by John Morley is a biographical essay written in the early 20th century. This work reflects on the life and contributions of Harriet Martineau, a notable figure of the Victorian era known for her writings on social issues and political economy. The essay engages with Martineau's intellectual journey, character, and her influence on social thought, exploring her as a pioneering female author and social reformer. The essay begins by discussing Martineau's challenging early life, which was marked by personal struggles and a strict upbringing. It highlights her literary career, particularly her success with tales that illustrated political economy principles. Morley emphasizes Martineau's transition from religious themes to a more scientific approach to societal issues, as well as her significant role in advocating for abolitionism and social reform. The essay also touches on her friendships with influential contemporaries and her later years spent in solitude, reflecting on her legacy as a writer and social critic. Ultimately, the essay portrays Martineau as a complex figure who was both a product of her time and a forward-thinking advocate for social change. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
