Eliza Rennie

Eliza Rennie or Mrs. Eliza Walker was a minor Scottish-born romantic and gothic short story author most notable for writing about her friendship with Mary Shelley and her contemporaries, including meetings with such celebrities as the Duke of Wellington.

Her biography remains somewhat of a mystery. She was possibly born on 17 May 1813, spent most of her adult life in London, and died sometime after 30 March 1869, when she was awarded £25 by the Royal Literary Fund. She published a two-volume autobiographical work of literary gossip entitled ''Traits of Character: being Twenty-Five Years' Literary and Personal Recollections, by a Contemporary''.
