Key facts
• Name — Margaret Croker • Birth Name — Margaret Sarah Croker • Born — Before 1773, • Died — After 1820, Margaret Sarah Croker (before 1773 - after 1820) was an English poet and novelist.
Life
She was baptised on 5 March 1773 in Holbeton in Devon. Her parents were Mary and Captain Richard Croker. Croker's poems are seen as examples of women speaking out in the hope of getting a woman as a monarch after a disappointing run of male monarchs. Someone who could be "firm" as she says in her 1817 lament A Monody on the Lamented Death of Princess Charlotte Augusta. Her 1818 three volume novel was titled The Question, who is Anna?. It concerned the life of a woman who was born to unmarried parents. Croker deals with her heroine in a kindly way.
