Amy LevyAmy Judith Levy (1861–1889) was an English essayist, poet, and novelist who wrote three novels, three collections of poetry, and short stories. She is best remembered for her literary gifts, her experience as the second Jewish woman at Cambride University as well as the first Jewish student at Newnham College, and her relationships with both women and men in literary and politically activist circles in London during the 1880s. Upon her death at the age of 27, Levy was eulogized in the pages of The Woman’s World by its editor Oscar Wilde, who said that her work “was not poured out lightly, but drawn drop by drop from the very depth of her own feeling.” Read More Read Less
