E. Werner

Elisabeth Bürstenbinder (November 25, 1838 – October 10, 1918) was a German writer who published under the pseudonym Ernst Werner, often shortened in catalogs and translations to E. Werner. She was born in Berlin and died in Merano.

She became known for novels and novellas that were widely read in the late 1800s, especially as serialized fiction. Reference sources describe her as a prolific author of light or popular novels, and many of her works were later issued in collected editions.

Today, she is remembered both under her real name and under her pen name, which can make her a little tricky to identify in older library records. Readers looking for E. Werner are usually looking for Elisabeth Bürstenbinder.
