About the author
Edwina Stanton Babcock was an American writer and poet born in Nyack, New York, in 1875. Reliable source pages connected with her work describe a career that moved across poetry, fiction, and literary editing, and The Atlantic still maintains an author page for her early magazine pieces.
Her published books include Greek Wayfarers, and Other Poems (1916), The Flying Parliament and Other Poems (1918), and Under the Law (1923). MacDowell also records her as a 1926 resident, suggesting she was part of the wider literary world of her time as well as a steady working author.
She died in 1965. While a great deal of her life remains lightly documented online, the record that does survive shows a versatile early-20th-century author whose writing ranged from lyric poetry to prose and whose work is still traceable through archival and public-domain collections.
