Bibliography

As you gather the sources for your Wikipedia contribution, think about the following:

Is the source from a reliable publication?
- Reliable publications include established newspapers, academic journals and books, textbooks, and other published sources with reputations for accuracy and fact-checking.
- Unreliable sources include blog posts and other self-published works, press releases, and social media posts.
Is the source verifiable?
- In order for a source to be considered verifiable, other editors should be able to consult the source.
Is the source independent of the subject?
- Is the source connected in any way to the subject? This is especially important when writing biographies or about organizations.
- For example, if you were writing a biography, sources like the person's webpage or personal blog would not be considered independent.
Is the source primary or secondary?
- Primary sources include first-hand accounts, autobiographies, and other original content.
- Wikipedia allows limited use of primary sources, but typically only for straightforward, descriptive statements of facts, and only if they are published and verifiable without requiring specialized knowledge.
- Secondary sources should be the main basis for a biography on Wikipedia.
If you're working on a topic related to medicine or psychology, ensure that your sources follow these special guidelines.
If you're creating a new article, consider the following:
- Ensure that your topic meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines.
- In order for a topic to meet the notability requirement, you must be able to identify 2-3 sources that are reliable, verifiable, and independent of the subject you're writing about.
- Finding sufficient sources to establish notability can be especially hard when writing about people or organizations.
- Sources that are not independent of the subject might be useful additions, but don't count towards the notability requirement.
- Wikipedia has developed special guidelines for writing about living persons. Please follow these carefully.
- Wikipedia has a series of guidelines for writing about different categories of people, such as academics and artists. If you're trying to create a new entry about a living person, please look at these carefully.

If you're not sure whether a source is reliable, ask a librarian! If you have questions about Wikipedia's sourcing rules, you can use the Get Help button below to contact your Wikipedia Expert.

Verney, Frances Parthenope (1800-1899). “Embley Park, Hampshire, home of Florence Nightingale’s Family. Coloured lithograph after Frances Parthenope Nightingale.: Wellcome Collections^[1]
- This is a watercolor/drawing done by Frances Parthenope of the home that she and Florence grew up in. It appears that Frances was rather gifted artistically, which is really no surprise considering the education her father provided to her and her sister when they were young.

Walker, E. (1828). "Mrs Nightingale with her daughters, Florence and Parthenope. Photogravure by E. Walker after a watercolour, 1828". Wellcome Collection. Retrieved 2024-10-23. ^[2]
- An etching/watercolor of France Nightingale with her a young Frances Parthenope and Florence Nightingale. Taken in 1828, Frances would have been around the age of 9.

White, William (1836). “File: Florence-Nightingale-Frances-Parthenope-Lady-Verney.jpg”. commons.wikimedia.org. Retrieved 2024-10-23. ^[3]
- Portrait of Florence Nightingale and her sister Frances Parthenope-Lady-Verney. This would have been painted when Frances was 17 years old.

Verney, F.P. (1868). Stone Edge. Smith, Elder & Co. ^[4]
- One of the earliest works available for access is by Frances Parthenope. She has some books and writing written even earlier than this but gaining access and finding a physical or electronic copy of her work has been near impossible for other authors who have dedicated hours to studying her. This book appears to be a mixture of drama, mystery, and romance.

Lady Verney (1870). Lettice Lisle. Smith, Edler & Co.^[5]
- Early work of Frances Parthenope. Once again the main character is a female and a more common placed and speaking female at that.

Verney, Lady Frances Parthenope (1871). Ferryhurst Court. Strahan & Co., Publishers.^[6]
- This is another work of Frances Parthenope’s.

Verney, F.P. (1884). "In A Great Town Hospital"." Macmillan's Magazine Vol. L (May to October 1884): 14-22.^[7]
- This is one of the personal works of Frances Parthenope Verney.

Verney, Lady Frances Parthenope (1888). How the Peasant Owner Lives in Parts of France, Germany, Italy, Russia. Macmillan and Co.^[8]
- One of the latter pieces of work by Frances Parthenope.
Verney, Lady Frances Parthenope; Margaret Maria Verney (1904). Memoirs of the Verney Family During the Seventeenth Century: Compiled from the Papers and Illustrated by the Portraits at Claydon House. Robarts- University of Toronto. London: Longmans, Green.^[9]
- After marrying Sir Harry Verney and moving to Claydon house, Frances Parthenope started gathering and collecting the many relics the house had scattered all over. With the letters and papers she found in the home she began to make a Memoir about the Verney family. She only worked on this project for a little time before she could no longer work regularly on it because of sickness. In the end Margaret M. Verney, France’s daughter-in-law finished up and polished the wok to be republished in 1904 as a complete memoir.

Mackerness, E.D. (1958). "Frances Parthenope, Lady Verney (1819-1890)". The Journal of Modern History 30 (2): 131-136.^[10]
- This is a peer-reviewed journal article so it should be a reliable source. It is a little outdated so it may not be the best source of all my references but it does directly deal with the topic. He talks about previous work done about Florence Nightingale and how he has seen those authors (speaking really about one, Mrs. Woodham Smith) neglected to highlight or even mention Florence’s elder sister, Frances. Instead, these others spend a great deal of time noticing the spectacular work of Florence that they refuse or prejudicially ignore those around her. Mackerness spends his article defending Frances and declaring her to be, “in some ways quite as remarkable as Miss Nightingale herself” (131).

McDonald, Lynn (2001). Florence Nightingale: An Introduction To Her Life And Family: Collected Works Of Florence Nightingale, Volume 1. Wilfrid Laurier University Press. ^[11]
- This book will be a great source of external and contextual information about Frances Parthenope's family, especially her sister Florence. The topic of this book is Florence but pieces of biographical and contextual data about Frances Parthenope are included. It includes a letter from Florence Parthenope speaking about the death of her sister as well as a monument inscription placed on her parents’ monument.

Gillian, Gil (2005). Nightingales: The Extraordinary Upbringing and Curious Life of Miss Florence Nightingale. Random House Publishing Group. ^[12]
- This is a published book so it should be reliable as a source. The information gathered from this will provide less direct evidence and biographical data but more context into the family life and childhood of the topic. It spends some time talking about Frances’s time as an author and the books that she published.

Tinniswood, Adrian (2007). The Verneys: A True Story of Love, War, and Madness in Seventeenth-Century England New York: Riverhead Books. ^[13]
- This published book is a reliable source but provides very little information about Parthenope. This source will be used more to understand the Verney family that she married into. It talks about Frances’ marriage to Sir Harry Verney in June 1858 as well as her role as a mother to her stepchildren.

Bostridge, Mark (2008). Florence Nightingale: The Making Of an Icon. Farrar, Straus, and Giroux.^[14]
- This novel is mainly about Florence Nightingale, but it does include information about her childhood even before she was born so it includes information and details about Frances Parthenope's early childhood.

Hamilton, Lynn (2023-06-30). Florence Nightingale's Sister: The Lesser Known Activism of Parthenope Verney Yorkshire, England: Pen and Sword Books. ^[15]
- This is one of the most recent works I can find about Frances Parthenope Verney so it will be very helpful in giving me updated facts and sources to continue to search while adding to her wiki profile. Unlike most of the other sources listed Frances Parthenope is the main focus of the book, not Florence Nightingale so I won't have to skip through sections looking for information about her, the entire book is about her.
