Sarah Green (1790–1825) was a prolific novelist, writing at least 15 (possibly 17) works of fiction, as well as one translation of a German novel, a conduct manual for young ladies, and a religious pamphlet. There is little surviving biographical detail of her life, though she appears to have been born in Ireland, and the contents of her works indicate an educated genteel childhood. She lived in central London throughout her writing career, and though apparently of the metropolitan bourgeoisie she claimed aristocratic familial connections. Her use of the title “Mrs” suggests a married woman, but no evidence has been found to support this. Her involvement in the trial of the antimonarchist religious zealot Richard Brothers (1757–1824) of whom she was briefly landlady reveals an evangelically spiritual aspect to her personality which forms a stark contrast to the worldly humor and social conservatism of her fiction. One of the most productive authors of the early nineteenth century, Green wrote lively works in a variety of genres, ranging from fashionable domestic romances, through Radcliffean gothic, to religious and political satire. Though dismissed by some contemporary and later critics as a Minerva Press hack, two of her novels make quite sophisticated comic use of multilayered irony and paratextual material to parody the literary world, her fellow authors, and the reading public. Green’s work has more recently been reassessed, recognizing a writer who represented the economic and social realities faced by the lower middle class in Regency England.
