About the author
Born in 1851 and deceased in 1915, Ellen Mackubin was an American writer whose work appeared in The Atlantic. She is remembered as a contributor to that magazine and as the author of The King of the Town.
Her surviving bibliography suggests a writer working in both magazine fiction and book publication during the turn-of-the-century literary world. Some of her work was later gathered into collections such as Atlantic Narratives: Modern Short Stories; Second Series, which helped preserve her writing for later readers.
Reliable biographical details about her life appear to be limited in the sources available online, so it is safest to remember her chiefly through the work itself: short fiction published in respected literary venues and a novel that kept her name in circulation after her death on October 2, 1915.
