Blanche Elizabeth Mary Annunciata Noel Murphy - A Stan Klos Biography
MURPHY, Blanche Elizabeth Mary
Annunciata Noel, author, born in Exton Hall, England, about 1850; died in
North Conway, New Hampshire, 22 March, 1881. She was the eldest daughter of the
Earl of Gainesborough, and, when she was twenty-one years old, married Thomas T.
Murphy, a young Irishman, her father's organist.
The earl opposed the match, but finally
allowed the marriage to take place from his house. Lady Blanche then went to
London with her husband, and afterward came to the United States, where he
secured a place as organist in a church, and she devoted herself to literature.
After her marriage she maintained a friendly correspondence with her father.
The most striking of her articles were a
series of essays on English social life that were published in the "Galaxy," but
she discontinued them upon hearing that they gave offence to English people. To
the "Catholic World" she contributed articles on the historical aspects of the
Roman question, besides many short stories and sketches, which have been
collected in separate volumes.
To "Lippincott's Magazine" she furnished
sketches of travel that were afterward published in an illustrated volume. She
also wrote for other periodicals, and at the time of her death was preparing a
series of articles on the Greek inscriptions of Mount Athos. See a letter from
Cardinal Manning to the Earl of Gainesborough in the "Catholic World" for
October, 1887.
