Eliza Walker is a published author, though her biography remains somewhat of a mystery.
She was possibly born on 17 May 1813, although this is uncertain and unproven.
Her death date was sometime after 30 March 1869, when she was awarded £25 by the Royal Literary Fund.
Eliza was a minor Scottish-born romantic/gothic short story author, who spent most of her adult life in London, and published an autobiographical two-volume work of literary gossip Traits of Character: being Twenty-Five Years' Literary and Personal Recollections, by a Contemporary.
She was most notable for writing about her friendship with Mary Shelley and her contemporaries, including meetings with such celebrities as the Duke of Wellington.
