Meet James Redding Ware
James Redding Ware did not only write Passing English of the Victorian Era: A Dictionary of Heterodox English Slang and Phrase. He also composed the first fictional female detective character. The book was appropriately titled The Female Detective and was penned under the same pseudonym of Andrew Forrester. It was published in 1864 and paved the way for other female detectives to emerge later in the 20th century including Nancy Drew and Miss Marple.
James Redding Ware was born in London in 1832. He passed away at the turn of the century in 1909, but not before he wrote a plethora of books including Before the Bench: Sketches of Police Court Life, Wonderful Dreams of Remarkable Men and Women, and Mistaken Identities: Celebrated Cases of Undeserved Suffering, Self-deception, and Wilful Imposture along with a handful of other books. His very last book was Passing English of the Victorian Era: A Dictionary of Heterodox English Slang and Phrase the last recorded year of his life.
