Шаблон:Use dmy dates Ida Alice Ashworth Taylor (1847–1929) was an English novelist and biographer.[1]

Ida Taylor was the daughter of the playwright Henry Taylor and Alice Spring Rice, daughter of Thomas Spring Rice, 1st Baron Monteagle. A Catholic convert, Taylor wrote for periodicals including The Dublin Review and The Nineteenth Century.[2] For most of her adult life she lived with her younger sister, Una, in Montpelier Square in London. The pair "conducted a literary salon, of which the characteristic notes were intellectual interest and Irish warm-heartedness".[3]

She died at her home in Wootton Wood in the New Forest.[3]
