Life

She was born Mary Caroline Trevelyan, the daughter of the renowned Cambridge historian G. M. Trevelyan. She studied at Somerville College, Oxford. In 1930, she published William III and the Defence of Holland, 1672-44. That same year, she married John Moorman, an Anglican cleric who rose to become the Bishop of Ripon.

She is best known today for her two-volume biography of the poet William Wordsworth. The first volume came out in 1957, followed by a second volume in 1966. The latter won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for biography. She was also closely involved with the Wordsworth Trust, serving first as secretary and then as chair of the trust. She died in 1994.[1]

gollark: I guess you could have... self-runnable python packages too?```bash#!/bin/shpython3 $0exit```
gollark: Shellscripts execute line-by-line, so if you stick a ZIP on the end and do something like```bash#!/bin/shunzip $0exit```then the shell won't complain about the random binary data at the end of the script.
gollark: I'm not sure if this has much of an actual application, but it's neat. You can do similar stuff with zips to make self-extracting archives.
