Eleanor Mary Hughes-Gibb (1859-1947) was a British author of novels and science textbooks for children.

Life and Family

Eleanor Mary Hughes-Gibb was born Eleanor Mary Wigram on May 26, 1858 in Kensington, London [1], to Mary Ann Pomeroy, age 26, and William Knox Wigram, age 34[2]. She was the second of six children. She had an older brother Henry Francis, born 1857; younger brother William Arthur, born 1860; younger sister Helen Isabelle, born 1862; younger sister Madeline Clara, born 1871; and sister Margaret Esther, unknown birth date . Her father was a barrister-at-law with the status of an esquire and her mother was of an unknown profession, but based on the standards of the time it can be presumed that she stayed at home to care for her six children[8]. Eleanor was baptized on June 25, 1858 at St. John the Evangelist Church in Notting Hill, London.[8] She seemed to have moved around a lot within London throughout the first decade of her life given the several adresses of her family.[8][4][5] Coming from an upper class family with servants and several adresses, Eleanor Hughes-Gibb was very well educated for a woman in her time. A 1871 census marks her profession as "scholar" at the age of 12.[4]

In April of 1880, she married Francis James Hughes-Gibb in Brentford, Middlesex, England, when she was 21 years old and Francis was 23 years old.[6] Just like her father, Eleanor's husband was also a prominent barrister-at-law with the title of gentleman.[7][8] On the mirror side, Eleanor Hughes-Gibb took on the same role that her mother had. By the time she was 26, she had given birth to four children: her daughter Dorothy Frances in 1881 in Ridmand, Surrey, England; daughter Gwendolen Margaret in 1882 in London, Middlesex, England; son Charles Pomeroy in 1884 in Greenford, Middlesex, England; and son Aubrey Patrick born in 1885.[9] Around 1892, she gave birth to her youngest child Harold Francis at the age of 33 in the village of Tarrant Gunville in Dorset, England, the address where she wrote almost all of her books and articles.[10] While it is notable that Eleanor Mary Hughes-Gibb published her first science textbook for children How Plants Live and Work in 1896, when her children were between the ages of 4 and 15 years old, it certainly would not have been possible had she not lived in the Manor house of her town with 30 rooms and many servants.[10][11]

Over the course of her long life, Eleanor Hughes-Gibb wrote at least 9 novels and science textbooks, as well as several articles on botany.[11] Having lived a long life however, she also outlived almost all of her close relatives, even including a couple of her own children. Her earliest experience with familial death came at the age of 18 when her younger sister Helen Isabelle died. She faced the death of her father in August of 1885, around the time of the birth of her fourth child. In 1912, Eleanor's sister Margaret Esther died, followed by the loss of her husband and two of their sons during World War I. Her son Captain Charles Hughes-Gibb died on July 25, 1916, her husband Francis died less than a year later at the age of 60 on March 13, 1917, and her youngest son Lieutenant Harold Hughes-Gibb died soon after on April 19, 1917.[12] During this period, Eleanor Hughes-Gibb did not publish anything until the book You Cannot Fall in 1922, which contained more religious rather than scientific subjects, perhaps reflective of her immense recent losses.[13] She also outlived her remaining siblings, with her brother Henry Francis dying in 1934, her sister Madeline Clara in 1936, and finally her brother William Arthur dying on December 11, 1943. On October 30, 1947, Eleanor Hughes Gibb died in Surrey, England aged 89.[3]

Literary Influence and Publications

Although Eleanor Mary Hughes-Gibb's novels and books covered an assortment of topics, she is best known for her works covering biology and specifically botany aimed towards a younger audience. While the reason for her immense interest in botany is unknown, it is easy to guess her motivation for writing science literature for children The full title of her first book is How plants live and work : a simple introduction to real life in the plant-world, based on lessons originally given to country children, indicating that Eleanor drew heavy inspiration from the education she gave her own five children as they were being raised.[11] It seems that instead of writing books for additional income, she instead wanted to take advantage of her educated background to spark the curiosity of a new generation about nature. In fact a review by Scotsman of How Plants Live and Work said that it was, "In every way well calculated to make the study of botany attractive to the young."[14] This theme was continued in her second, popular book The Making of a Daisy; "Wheat out of Lilies;" and other studies in plant-life and evolution. A popular introduction to botany, etc. published two years later in 1898.[https://play.google.com/store/books/details/Eleanor_Hughes_Gibb_The_Making_of_a_Daisy?id=VlwQAQAAMAAJ&hl=en][15] Here she started to talk about uncommon ideas for the time, such as evolution and how it fit into the world. Within this she encouraged not only scientific study in school, but also the developments of science in the field. Eleanor Hughes-Gibb continued writing books and articles from London about nature and botany up through 1930 when she was 71, with titles such as Trees and Men, The life-force in the plant world, or creative nature, and The Life-force in the inorganic world.[11] Hughes-Gibb also strayed from scientific themes, writing several, less popular novels such as Gilbert Ray and His Sister over the course of her career as an author.[11]
