Emma Jane Guyton or Worboise (née Worboys; 1825–1887) was an English novelist, biographer and editor.
Thornycroft Hall (1864), Crystabel (1873) and A Woman's Patience (1879) are among titles to have been reissued in print-on-demand editions.
[3] According to another recent scholar, "Worboise uses her novels to enter debates about the relation of religion to gender and to public life.
This holistic commitment to a religion of the heart, but also of action, in all areas of life underpins Worboise's challenge to the cultural division of sacred from secular, private from public, and feminine from masculine.
"[4] Guyton greatly admired Dr Thomas Arnold, the educational reformer and headmaster of Rugby School, whose life she published in 1859.
