Jane Sinnett

Jane Sinnett (née Fry; 8 March 1804 – 14 November 1870)[1] was a British translator, author, and critic.

[1] Fry married Dublin-born journalist Edward William Percy Sinnett on 3 September 1825 in Holborn, London.

[1] Both had a strong knowledge of modern languages, and Jane Sinnett contributed to both the Dublin Review and The Athenaeum.

[1][2][4][5] Her reputation suffered from George Eliot's description of her as "tiresome" as a contributor to this latter journal, though it has since been argued that it related to Sinnett's failure to respond to proof correction, rather than to her skill as a German scholar.

[1] Sinnett died in London on 14 November 1870 and was buried on the western side of Highgate Cemetery.
