Jane Margaret Strickland (18 April 1800 – 14 June 1888) was a British writer.

Life

Strickland was born in Kent in 1800. The daughter of Thomas Strickland and Elizabeth (born Homer) of Reydon Hall, Suffolk, Her siblings were Elizabeth; Sarah; Agnes, Catharine Parr, Susanna and Samuel Strickland. All of the children except Sarah eventually became writers.[2]

By 1840 she had two sisters living in Canada and two others who had moved out of the house leaving Jane to look after her mother who died in 1864.[1]

In 1854 Jane published a schoolbook Rome, Regal and Republican: A Family History of Rome that was edited by her sister Agnes.[2] The proceeds made her financially independent and allowed her to buy her own cottage.[1]

In 1856 she published Adonijah[3] which is an unlikely, but engaging, story about a Jewish child living at the time of the Roman Empire who eventually becomes a Christian.[1]

Strickland published a biography of her sister Agnes in 1887 and died at her cottage in Southwold the following year.{{cn|date=June 2018}}
