One colourful reviewer lambasting contemporary novels in general singled her novel Mrs. Cleveland out as a "deleterious fungus" in which "Everything is improbable. The characters are...colourless, insipid, and vague...the language is such as would disgrace a daily governess at Whitechapel, in her feeblest efforts at English composition" Her heavily annotated copy of Jane Austen's Mansfield Park is discussed in The Lost Books of Jane Austen (2019) by .
