About the author
Emma Watts Phillips was an English author born in London in 1837. Records for her books and biographical listings connect her with works including Richard Galbraith, Mariner; or, Life Among the Kaffirs, and later references identify her as the author of a memoir about her brother, Watts Phillips: Artist and Playwright.
Her writing appears to have ranged from adventurous fiction to lighter popular literature, and her career is now mostly traced through library catalogs and Victorian author indexes rather than modern biographies. That gives her a slightly elusive profile today, but it also places her among the many once-active 19th-century writers whose work circulated widely in magazines and lending libraries.
Reliable portrait images were not clearly available from the sources I could confirm, so no profile image is included.
