List of works

  • Hayek, F.A. (1951) John Stuart Mill and Harriet Taylor: Their Friendship and Subsequent Marriage, Chicago, IL: University of Chicago Press.

    (The standard collection of their correspondence, which includes Harriet’s poems and early essays on marriage and toleration, sometimes catalogued with ‘J.S. Mill’ listed as author.)

  • Rossi, A. (1970) Essays on Sex Equality, Chicago, IL: University of Chicago Press.

    (Contains Taylor’s essays on marriage, ‘The Enfranchisement of Women’ (1851) and ‘The Subjection of Women’ (1869) with an excellent critical preface by Alice Rossi.)

References and further reading

  • Bain, A. (1882) John Stuart Mill: A Criticism with Personal Recollections, London: Longman, Green.

    (In the final chapter, ‘Character and Influence’, Bain takes up the question of Mill’s relationship with Harriet, notes ‘Mill’s hallucination about his wife’s genius’, but supports Mill’s detailed, precise account of Harriet’s contributions.)

  • Himmelfarb, G. (1974) On Liberty and Liberalism: The Case of John Stuart Mill, New York: Alfred A. Knopf.

    (A lively, detailed examination of Mill’s conflicting accounts of liberty, hostile to Harriet Taylor and supportive of Mill’s claim that On Liberty was a joint production.)

  • Mill, J.S. (1848) Principles of Political Economy, in Collected Works of John Stuart Mill, Toronto, Ont.: University of Toronto Press, vols 2–3.

    (Mill’s work on empirical and theoretical economics as a social science.)

  • Mill, J.S. (1859) On Liberty, in Collected Works of John Stuart Mill, Toronto, Ont.: University of Toronto Press, vol. 18: 213–310.

    (Mill’s powerful defence of extensive civil liberties, probably co-authored by Harriet Taylor.)

  • Mill, J.S. (1873) Autobiography, in Collected Works of John Stuart Mill, Toronto, Ont.: University of Toronto Press, vol. 1: 1–290.

    (Mill’s oddly impersonal account of his own life, containing the sober record of Taylor’s contribution to his work; the same volume of the Collected Works contains literary essays which betray her influence.)

  • Mill, J.S. (1874) Three Essays on Religion, in Collected Works of John Stuart Mill, Toronto, Ont.: University of Toronto Press, vol. 10: 369–489.

    (Essays on religion and nature for which Taylor set topics and about which they corresponded.)

  • Packe, M. (1954) The Life of John Stuart Mill, New York: Macmillan.

    (An excellent biography with a superb account of Harriet Taylor’s relationship with Mill.)
