Caroline Emily Sharp, publishing under the name Mrs. Lovett Cameron, was an English novelist active during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Born circa 1844, she established a career as a writer of long-form fiction, contributing to the literary landscape of her era before her death in 1921.
She is particularly noted for her productivity within the Victorian publishing system, having written and published more than fourteen three-volume novels. This specific format, often referred to as the 'triple-decker,' was a staple of the nineteenth-century British book trade, requiring sustained narrative structure and widespread appeal among library subscribers. Through these multi-volume works, Sharp engaged with the reading public of her generation, cementing her place among the active female novelists of the period.
