The nurse who carried a lamp through the corridors at Scutari, told in the popular Victorian life that first appeared in 1891 and was enlarged after she died in 1910.

Eliza F. Pollard (died 1911) wrote historical novels and popular lives for a broad readership, and her account moves in scenes rather than tables: a girlhood spent among sick cottagers near the family's Derbyshire home, the long resistance of her family to the work she had set her heart on, the years of study, and then the barrack hospital where she landed in 1854 to find the sick and injured of the Crimea lying in filth. Twelve chapters carry the story from those early days to 'In Memoriam' and 'Home at Last!', the closing chapters added once she was gone.
