Born in Concord, New Hampshire, in 1847, Emma Elizabeth Brown wrote under the names E. E. Brown and B. E. E. She built a varied literary career that included prose, poetry, and biographical writing, and she contributed to a range of literary and religious magazines.
Brown was more than a writer alone. Contemporary biographical sources also describe her as an artist, and she exhibited watercolors in 1892. That mix of visual and literary work gives her career an appealing breadth.
She lived a long life, dying in 1937, and is remembered today as one of those versatile authors whose work crossed genres and audiences with ease.
