Renowned for its Staffordshire pottery wares, by the late 1800s the Wedgwood family hadsuccessfully secured its 'rags-to-riches' social and cultural position against the backdrop ofVictorian England. Hensleigh Wedgwood (1803-1891), grandson of master potter JosiahWedgwood I (1730-1795), deviated from the family business and became an instrumentalfigure in nineteenth-century British linguistics. His eldest daughter, Frances Julia 'Snow'Wedgwood (1833-1913), achieved contemporary success as a feminist novelist, biographer,historian, and literary critic. The proposed research project is unique in focus as it intersects atthe disciplinary boundaries of Victorian literature, literary biography, and the history oflinguistics. My research uncovers evidence which shows that these figures and their lives canshed new light on the Victorian period. The planned outcome is a detailed biographical accountof the lives and work of both father and daughter.

以斯塔福德郡陶器闻名的韦奇伍德家族，在19世纪末成功地在维多利亚时代的英国背景下巩固了其“白手起家”的社会和文化地位。亨斯利·韦奇伍德（1803-1891）是制陶大师乔西亚·韦奇伍德一世（JosiahWedgwood I，1730-1795）的孙子，他脱离了家族事业，成为十九世纪英国语言学的重要人物。他的长女弗朗西丝·朱莉娅·韦奇伍德（Frances Julia 'Snow'Wedgwood，1833-1913）是一位女性主义小说家、传记作家、历史学家和文学评论家。拟议的研究项目是独特的重点，因为它在维多利亚文学，文学传记和语言学史的学科边界交叉。我的研究发现了证据，表明这些人物和他们的生活可以为维多利亚时期提供新的线索。计划的结果是一个详细的传记帐户的生活和工作的父亲和女儿。
