Life
Campbell was born in Stirling in 1817. Her father was Robert Campbell and she took an early interest in books and she was well read whilst still a child. She travelled to the highlands of Scotland and her resulting writings were published in magazines. Her first novel was published in 1839, but it was her second novel, The Cardinal Virtues, or, Morals and Manners Connected, that made her reputation. By this time she had spent just one winter in London society before she went abroad to regain her health. This did not happen and she died from influenza and was buried in Switzerland in 1841. This was the same year as her best novel was published.
Her third novel, Katherine Randolph, or, Self-Devotion, was published in 1842.
