Lucy Aikin
Lucy Aikin (6 November 1781 – 29 January 1864) was an English historical writer. She also published under the pseudonym Mary Godolphin.
==Family and education==
Lucy Aikin was born at Warrington, England, into a distinguished literary family of prominent Unitarians. They were also a family of writers, the most well known of whom was her paternal aunt, Anna Laetitia Barbauld, a woman of letters who wrote poetry and essays as well as early children's literature. Lucy's father, Dr. John Aikin, was a medical doctor, historian, and author. Her grandfather, also called John Aikin (1713–1780), was a Unitarian scholar and theological tutor, closely associated with Warrington Academy. Lucy's brother was Arthur Aikin (1773–1854), chemist, mineralogist and scientific writer; their brother Charles Rochemont (1775–1847) was adopted by their famous aunt and brought up as their cousin; he became a doctor and chemist.
Lucy was educated by her father and her aunt, an early critic of the education system. She "read widely in English, French, Italian, and Latin literature and history",〔See Barbara Brandon Schnorrenberg's entry "Aikin, Lucy (1781–1864)" in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography〕 and began writing for magazines at the age of seventeen,〔Schnorrenberg (again)〕 and at an early age assisted her father as an editor in his writings as well.〔See: (''A First Sketch of English Literature, page 941'' )〕
