Edward Fenton Elwin

He is best known as a British Anglican priest associated with the Society of St John the Evangelist, often called the Cowley Fathers. In India and the Indians (1913), the title page presents him as being "of the Society of St John the Evangelist, Cowley," and also credits him with earlier books including Indian Jottings and Thirty-Four Years in Poona City.

Bibliographic records show that his published work centered on missionary life and daily experience in western India, especially Poona and Bombay. Listings from The Online Books Page and Project Gutenberg connect his name with Indian Jottings (1907), Thirty-Four Years in Poona City (1911), India and the Indians (1913), and Forty-Five Years in Poona City (circa 1922).

A full modern biography is hard to confirm from the sources available here, so the safest picture is a literary one: he wrote as a long-serving churchman in India, turning years of local experience into descriptive, often strongly opinionated books about religion, society, and colonial life. No clearly verified portrait image was available from the pages I could confirm.
