A Cyclopaedia of Female Biography/Knorring, Baroness
KNORRING, BARONESS,
Is a novelist of some note. Mrs. Mary Howitt, who translated one of her works, "The Peasant and his Landlord," says, "The Baroness Knorring stands (in her own country) side by side with the author of 'Home' and the 'Neighbours.'" These excellent ladies. Miss Bremer and the Baroness Knorring, are doing much for the improvement in morals as well as literary taste of the Swedish people. The last-named writer takes an earnest part in the temperance cause. "The Peasant and his Landlord" is a story in point, affording "one more of the many demonstrations which we meet with, of the highest and purest natures being driven from their proper course, and oppressed and perverted by the worst. It affords, also, a grand lessen on the subject of temperance, and proves that though one false step often leads to ruin, which is retrievable only by death, yet that uprightness and virtue, through suffering and through death, work out their own salvation."
