Mariana Starke (1761/2-1838) was an English author. She wrote plays and poetry, mainly early in her career, and while her plays had decent runs the reviews were mixed. Her later travel writing brought her considerably more success. Her father was Richard Starke, governor of Fort St. George in Madras (now known as Chennai). It was here she spent her childhood, background that she used in her plays The Sword of Peace; or, A Voyage of Love (1788) and The Widow of Malabar (1790). She then lived in Italy for an extended period, between 1792 and 1798, in order to attend a sick relation, and this experience formed the basis for her later writing. Her other works include: The Poor Soldier (1789), The Tournament (1800), The Beauties of Carlo Maria Maggi (1811) and Information and Directions for Travellers on the Continent (1824). Read more
