Bio note |
Hannah Brand, actress and dramatist. She began as a teacher in Norwich but soon gave up this profession for a career on the stage. As actress and dramatist she was equally unsuccessful. She ended up as governess to a family at Woodbridge in which, until her arrival, husband and wife had lived in pleasant tranquillity. She soon completely detached the wife from her husband and the two women left the house to live together on a remote island. This 'extraordinary woman', as Cranbrook describes her, died at Versailles, 5 March 1821. |
