About the author
Very little biographical information about E. Berkley could be confirmed from the sources I found. The author is credited with The Pharaohs and Their People: Scenes of Old Egyptian Life and History, a book published in the 1880s and now available through major public-domain archives.
The book presents Egyptian history for general readers rather than specialists, blending historical overview with scenes from everyday life, rulers, monuments, and major events. Its subtitle and presentation suggest an effort to make the ancient world vivid and approachable for a broad audience.
Because reliable personal details were scarce, it seems E. Berkley is remembered mainly through this surviving historical work rather than through a well-documented public biography.
