active 1895-1897 Elizabeth Hodges

Very little biographical information about this author appears to be readily available online. Library and public-domain book records consistently identify Elizabeth Hodges as the author of The Cabots and the Discovery of America, published in 1897, and some catalogs list her as active in the years around 1895–1897.

Her surviving work suggests a writer interested in history, exploration, and local heritage. The Cabots and the Discovery of America focuses on the voyages of John Cabot and Sebastian Cabot and also includes material on Brandon Hill and the Cabot memorial in Bristol, giving the book both a historical and regional character.

Because confirmed personal details are scarce, Hodges is remembered mainly through this book rather than through a well-documented public life. That makes her an intriguing example of an author whose work has outlasted the historical record about the person behind it.
