About the author
Edith Keeley Stokely was a British author whose books appeared in the late Victorian and Edwardian period. Sources connected with her public-domain editions show that she wrote both fiction and verse, and that her work circulated widely enough to be preserved in major online literary archives.
Her bibliography includes novels and story collections such as My Lady of the Chinese Courtyard and The Joss: A Reversion, along with poetry. The range of titles linked to her name suggests a writer comfortable moving between domestic, romantic, and more outward-looking settings that were popular with readers of her era.
She is not a heavily documented literary figure today, and readily available biographical detail appears limited. Even so, her surviving publications give a clear sense of a professional author whose work forms part of the broader landscape of popular English-language writing from around the turn of the twentieth century.
