About the author
Born in Englewood, New Jersey, on March 28, 1873, Anne Douglas Sedgwick became known for novels and stories that explored relationships, inner conflict, and the differences between American and European worlds. She spent much of her adult life in England, and that transatlantic perspective became one of the most recognizable qualities of her fiction.
Sedgwick published widely in the early 20th century, and several of her best-known books include A Fountain Sealed, The Little French Girl, and The Old Countess. Her work was admired for its intelligence and emotional nuance, with an eye for both social manners and private feeling.
She died in Hampstead, London, on July 19, 1935. Though she is less widely read today than some of her contemporaries, her novels remain interesting for their thoughtful portraits of women, identity, and the complicated ties between Europe and America.
