Born in London she was well educated at home by her Irish mother, and showed early promise as a writer as well as demonstrating skill in several other areas, including painting and musical composition. She devoted herself to writing professionally from the early 1850s, producing novels including 'My Brother's Wife' (1855) and 'Barbara's History' (1864). She also travelled widely, in particular with her companion Lucy Renshawe, and published several travelogues, including 'A Thousand Miles up the Nile' (1877), which is still widely read and admired today. Aside from her travel writing she is best remembered today for her many short stories with ghostly, supernatural and mysterious themes, many of which were contributed anonymously to literary magazines. Charles Dickens regularly invited her to compose seasonal tales for his annual Christmas numbers of 'All the Year Round' between 1860 and 1866, including probably her best known and most reprinted story, 'The Phantom Coach' (1864). It's unclear why she didn't contribute any stories to the publication between 1867 and 1870 – it's possible Dickens rejected her 1866 story 'The Four-fifteen Express' as too long, so she took it elsewhere – but his son, Charles Dickens junior, invited her to return after Dickens's death in 1870. Some background notes on the text: Henry John Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston (1784–1865), known as Lord Palmerston, was one of the best known public figures of the mid-Victorian era. He served in multiple government positions under several prime ministers, most notably three significant terms as Foreign Secretary between 1830 and 1851, Home Secretary from 1852 to 1855, before serving two terms as Prime Minister himself between 1855 and his death ten years later (he died in office, the most recent UK prime minister to do so). As a result he was the dominant voice in directing British foreign policy for more than 30 years. Beginning his career as a Tory, he later switched parties to the Whigs, and ultimately became the first Liberal prime minister in 1859. The publication history of 'A Railway Panic' is obscure. It is not listed in Amelia Edwards' bibliography in any of my usual sources for Victorian periodical publication, although it's possible it was first published anonymously. The Internet Speculative Fiction Database dates it simply as "1856", but I've no idea what the basis is for that information. The reference in the text to Lord Palmerston in the past tense ("did you know him?") is one possible indicator that it was written a little later than that, after Palmerston's death in 1865. Whether it dates from the 1850s, 1860s or even later, I first came across the story in a modern compilation volume of Edwards' stories, 'All Saints Eve and Other Stories', published by Wordsworth as part of their "Tales of Mystery and the Supernatural" series, c.1998. It's an interesting example of a widespread Victorian obsession: the fear of being trapped in a railway compartment with a violent murderer. I came across an article online which discusses this in some detail, which you can read here if you're interested in finding out more on the subject: https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles...
