Anne Mozley (17 September 1809 – 27 June 1891)[1] was a British writer and critic. She lived in Derby and the small village of Barrow-upon-Trent, which is south of the city.[2] She has been described as an almost anonymous author, as few of her works were attributed to her on first publication. She is credited with the first review of George Eliot's book, Adam Bede, that recognized that it had to be written by a woman.[3]
