Grace Kennedy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grace Kennedy (1782-1825) was a Scottish writer. She was born at Pinmore, Ayrshire, but at an early age removed to Edinburgh. She wrote novels of a religious tendency which had no small vogue in their day. She is best known as the author of Father Clement (1823), an anti-Roman-Catholic novel, which ran through some dozen editions and was translated into several languages. Other books of hers are:
- Anna Ross (1823)
- Dunallan (second edition, 1825)
- Jessy Allan (twelfth edition, 1853)
- Decision (1821)
A collection of her works in six volumes appeared at Edinburgh in 1827, and a German translation of them, Sämmtliche Werke, in Bielefeld in 1844.
