The ambitions of Jane Franklin : Victorian lady adventurer /Alison Alexander. A biography of Jane Franklin (1791?1875), born Jane Griffin. Well educated, Jane travelled in Europe as a young woman. Following her marriage to Sir John Franklin in 1828, Jane continued to travel alone and with companions around the Mediterranean. In 1836 John Franklin was appointed Lieutenant-Governor of Van Dieman's Land (Tasmania) and Jane accompanied him there travelling widely across Australia and becoming involved in life in the colony. Recalled at the end of 1843, John Franklin was then appointed to lead an expedition to find the North-West passage. Departing in 1845, Franklin disappeared and Jane then devoted herself to finding out what had happened to the expedition, sponsoring seven expeditions to find him and supporting many others. Faced with Dr John Rae's evidence of cannibalism, she used her influence to challenge the evidence and maintain her husband's reputation as a polar hero, in the process destroying Rae's reputation. She continued to travel widely until her death at the age of 84. The text is supported by photographs, a bibliography and notes. 2016. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 92FRANKLIN, JANE

As affecting the fate of my absent husband : selected letters of Lady Franklin concerning the search for the lost Franklin expedition, 1848-1860 /edited, with an introduction and notes, by Erika Behrisch Elce. A collection of Jane, Lady Franklin's letters written following the disappearance of her husband, Sir John Franklin, in 1845 while searching for the North West passage. Jane Franklin's letters inspired others to continue searching for her husband and kept his memory alive in the public imagination. Her correspondence, a private appeal to public figures including politicians, entrepreneurs and Lords of the Admiralty, was largely responsible for the expedition that discovered Franklin's fate and resurrected her husband's reputation. Lady Franklin became a symbol of faith and fidelity and transformed a tragedy into a celebration of fortitude, faith and heroism. Her letters provide a timeline and emotional record of the search. All letters included were signed by Lady Franklin and sent to national and international leaders both before and after the announcement of her husband's death. The letters are supported by an informative introduction about the letters and the time in which they were written, comprehensive annotations, maps and a descriptive timeline. c2009. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 92FRANKLIN, JANE
