Jemima von Tautphoeus

[2] Jemima was married on 29 January 1838 to Cajetan Josef Friedrich, Baron von Tautphœus of Marquartstein (1805–1885), Chamberlain to the king of Bavaria.

The remainder of her life was spent principally in Bavaria, where she was equally at home in court circles, and as her works show, among the peasantry and the middle classes.

[2] Her four novels were described by Richard Garnett as "entertaining combinations of romance and travelogue," drawing on a knowledge of English and German manners and scenery.

[2] A more recent account of Baroness von Tautphoeus states that her novels point to a person of conservative tastes, very well read in English, German and French.

[4] As her obituarist in The New York Times put it, "She always lived a retired life, and had published nothing for many years, and her death seems not to have been regarded in Germany as a matter of news.
