About the author
Born in Washington, D.C., on March 7, 1880, Charlotte Bryson Taylor published as C. Bryson Taylor. Reference sources identify her as an American author active from the late 1890s into the early 20th century, and they connect her especially with historical and adventure fiction that sometimes crossed into supernatural or speculative territory.
Her first and best-known novel, In the Dwellings of the Wilderness (1904), is the book most often singled out today. The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction notes it for its eerie blend of ancient Egypt, reincarnation, and Gothic menace, which has helped keep Taylor remembered by readers interested in early fantasy and weird fiction.
The surviving online record for Taylor is fairly sparse, but major cataloging sources agree on her birth year of 1880, and science-fiction reference works give her death year as 1936. I wasn't able to confirm a reliable portrait from the sources I checked, so none is included here.
