E. E. (Emma Elizabeth) Brown

Born on October 18, 1847, Emma Elizabeth Brown was an American author who wrote under the names E. E. Brown and B. E. E. She is noted for producing prose, biographies, and poetry, and she was also active as an artist.

Brown belongs to the tradition of versatile 19th-century writers whose creative work crossed more than one form. That mix of literary and artistic work gives her a distinctive place among lesser-known American authors of her era.

Although not widely remembered today, surviving catalog and reference records show a career broad enough to include several genres as well as visual art, suggesting a writer with both curiosity and range.
