Castle, Agnes
Entry updated 30 December 2024. Tagged: Author.
(1862-1922) Irish author, best known for her collaborations with her husband, Egerton Castle (1858-1920); it is not easy to identify a senior collaborator, though Egerton spent much time as a competitive fencer. Their only novel with fantastic elements is The Star Dreamer: A Romance (1903) as Agnes and Egerton Castle, whose female protagonist, enamoured of an astronomer, must forge her own course after he disappears in a seemingly Near-Future exploration of space.
