Caroline Giffard Phillipson (1823 – 1893) was a British poet and novelist.




Early life


Caroline Giffard Lethbridge was born on 1823 in Montgomeryshire, Wales. She was the eldest of eighteen children of Sir John Hesketh Lethbridge, 3rd Baronet. Her mother was Lethbridge's first wife, Harriet Mytton. In 1849, Caroline Lethbridge married John Tharp Burton Phillipson, with the wedding taking place in Paris, France.




Career


Caroline Phillipson wrote four books of poetry. The first, Lonely Hours (1856), was labelled "sentimental doggerel" in a negative review by novelist George Eliot in the Westminster Review. An enraged Phillipson published a pamphlet called A Song in Prose to the Westminster Owl. Though the anonymous review was by Eliot, Phillipson assumed it had been written by her partner George Henry Lewes and the pamphlet was a lengthy denunciation of Lewes.
A later volume, Songs on Italy (1862), was full of fulsome praise of Italian patriot Giuseppe Garibaldi. A 20th century critic wrote that Phillipson "maltreated the Muses most frightfully." Correspondence between Garibaldi and Phillipson is owned by the Museo Civico di Sanremo.
Phillipson wrote one work of fiction, Ethel Beranger (1858), which The Athenaeum called "a very silly novel."




Death


Phillipson died in 1893 in Italy.
