Manning initially produced two books of non-fiction, followed by her first fictional work "Village Belles" in 1838. Her best known works were initially printed as serials in Sharpe's Magazine and later published in book form. She is best known for Mistress Mary Powell (a biography of the life of John Milton's wife), which first appeared in 1849, and The Household of Sir Thomas More, a picture of More's home life in the form of a diary written by his daughter Margaret. She wrote several other biographies as well as historical reference and religious works. Many of her works were published anonymously.
