Biography[edit]
Caroline Fox was born on 24 May 1819 at Penjerrick, near Falmouth, to Robert Were Fox, an inventor, and Maria Barclay.[4] Both were Quakers. She was the younger sister of Barclay Fox, also a diarist,[5] and of Anna Maria Fox.[6]
Caroline's diaries record memories of people such as John Stuart Mill, John Sterling and Thomas Carlyle. Selections from her diary and letters (1835–1871) appeared as Memories of Old Friends: Caroline Fox of Penjerrick, Cornwall.[7][8] A selection from the Victorian edition appeared in 1972.[9]
With two of her siblings, Fox helped found the Falmouth Polytechnic, or the Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society.[4]
Caroline Fox died on 12 January 1871 at Penjerrick and was buried at a Quaker cemetery in Budock.[4]
