Did you know?
She was a close friend of John Tyndall, and for a time they wrote to each other as Boreas (Tyndall) and Eolian (Pollock). On 5 April 1858, Juliet gave her book New Friends to the Tennysons via John Tyndall, who used it as an introduction to them (Tyndall Journal, RI MS JT/2/13c/1066).
Additional information
There is very little about her anywhere. She appears frequently in the biography of John Tyndall (The Ascent of John Tyndall, OUP, 2018), and there are many letters between them in the Tyndall Correspondence (being published in 20 volumes by Pittsburgh University Press, and will eventually be available open access online with the Darwin Correspondence).
