George Lovell is an 1847 novel by the Irish writer James Sheridan Knowles, published in three volumes.[1] Sheridan Knowles had made his name writing stages plays, particularly tragedies such as Caius Gracchus and Virginius. He then turned to writing novels this was the second following the semi-autobiographical Fortescue (1846).[2] His second novel focused on a series of adventures experienced by the son of a jeweller. Some reviewers found the novels too earnest in their tone.[3] Both enjoyed more success in the United States than in Britain.[4] Charlotte Brontë mentions the novel in one of her letters.[5]
