Charlotte Nooth

Charlotte Nooth (1784 - ) was an English poet and novelist who published her works in the early 19th century.

Life Nooth's dates are uncertain, though she is thought to have been born in the 18th century with recent sources giving her year of birth as 1784. Her parents, Elizabeth (née Brindley) and James Nooth, married 1782 in Somerset. Nooth was born in Dorchester, Dorset, and was baptised on 9 February 1784. James Nooth was a surgeon, whose brother was John Mervin Nooth. There are no records of her education, but her work demonstrates a "good grounding in romance languages".

Eglantine (1816) is a two volume novel. In 1826 she published a translation of Henri Grégoire from French, An Essay on the Nobility of the Skin; or, The Prejudice of White Persons.

Until 2024, this is where further details of Nooth and her work after 1826 were uncertain. Newspaper research has shown that she wrote a poem to mark Valpy's retirement in 1829 that she signed as "C. G. Desmonstiers (late Charlotte Nooth)" from Paris. In 1828, she wrote to Walter Scott from Paris. It is presumed that her husband was Marquis Desmonstiers de Merinville. She is last recorded in 1876, in an advertisement seeking relatives to claim her estate, which stated she was "married and died aboard".
