E. Werner

Elisabeth Bürstenbinder was born in Berlin on November 25, 1838, and died near Merano on October 10, 1918. She was a German writer who first published under the pseudonym C. Werner and later became known as E. Werner.

She built a large readership with novels and stories that often appeared in serialized form. Reference sources describe her as the author of numerous light novels, and her collected fiction was published in multiple volumes in the 1890s.

Many of her works continued to circulate in English translation, and several are now available through public-domain libraries such as Project Gutenberg. That lasting availability has helped keep her name familiar to readers of classic popular fiction.
