Sarah Trimmer
Sarah Trimmer is a relatively unknown writer of children's literature. Although she was extremely popular at the end of the eighteenth century and quite influential, she has unfortunately been forgotten and scholars are just now resurrecting her and her works. This article is currently GA and has gone through a thorough peer review. I am currently in touch with the foremost Trimmer scholar and will hopefully have the full list of her works soon, but I thought I would put it up for FA without the complete list since I am not sure when I will obtain the full list. It could end up being a big mess (it's kind of looking that way now). Certainly Trimmer's most important works are listed. Awadewit Talk 09:20, 22 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Support, for the reasons I gave at the peer review. This is another fine article by user:Awadewit, particularly so because no major books on Trimmer have been written, meaning that the editor had to assemble fragments of information and scholarship from diverse sources in order to construct this substantial article. Articles like this are a treasure for Wikipedia: I doubt another treatment of Trimmer exists like it anywhere, let alone on the web. Where gaps in the information occur, they are gaps in the information available, not a fault of the writing. qp10qp 14:59, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Support I commend Awadewit for his work on this excellent, well-cited, and comprehensive article. It is also very well-written. I've taken the liberty of fixing the format of the !votes using the conventional bullets. — An as  talk? 16:34, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
