Lydia
Author: Elizabeth Sutherland
Publisher: Dundurn
ISBN: 9781862322219
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
The name and writings of Hugh Miller, born in Cromarty in 1802, have always been and still are well known. Apart from an entry in the Dictionary of National Biography, his wife, Lydia, born in Inverness in 1812, has remained undeservedly in obscurity. Now, in this book, she is at last brought on stage. Here Elizabeth Sutherland tells us of Lydia's upbringing and education, and the romantic story of how she fell in love with and married a 'plain working man', as Hugh described himself, with little formal education and apparently few prospects. We are taken through the tragedy of the early death in Cromarty of their first-born child to their move to Edinburgh in 1840 when Hugh was appointed editor of The Witness newspaper. We learn how their deep love and Lydia's active help supported Hugh through the difficult years leading up to the Disruption in the Church of Scotland in 1843, in which he played such an important part, and beyond, while she became a published, though anonymous, author herself. Her life until her death in 1876, and that of her children, after Hugh's suicide in 1856, is described, and we discover how, to the detriment of her own health, she devoted the first six years of her widowhood to editing and publishing posthumously her husband's writings, which otherwise might never have become available to the public. As the Introduction by Lydia's great-great-granddaughter explains, prime source material for this study has been scarce, but from such as there is, and from extensive further research, a fascinating picture has been skilfully built up to reveal a remarkable woman, whose love and strength were a vital ingredient in Hugh's lasting reputation.
