Agnes Strickland était une historienne et écrivaine anglaise. Ses recherches laborieuses et consciencieuses en font une source précieuse pour l'étude de l'histoire britannique. Bien que son style ne soit pas aussi objectif que celui des historiens modernes, il offre un aperçu précieux des mœurs de son époque. Ses œuvres biographiques se concentraient souvent sur des sujets féminins et incluaient des détails sociaux, caractéristiques des biographies de femmes victoriennes.
