Agnes Strickland è stata una storica e scrittrice inglese. Le sue ricerche laboriose e coscienziose l'hanno resa una fonte preziosa per lo studio della storia britannica. Sebbene il suo stile non sia obiettivo come quello degli storici moderni, offre spunti preziosi sui costumi del suo tempo. Le sue opere biografiche si concentravano spesso su figure femminili e includevano dettagli sociali, caratteristici delle biografie delle donne vittoriane.
