author
1850–1934
A 19th-century American writer whose work ranges from eerie, imaginative short fiction to later novels with a strong sense of place. Her writing is often remembered today for "The Automaton Ear," an early speculative tale with a distinctly uncanny edge.
by Florence McLandburgh
Born in 1850 and living until 1934, Florence McLandburgh was an American author whose published work includes the story collection The Automaton Ear, and Other Sketches (1876) and the novel The Little Flag on Main Street (1917).
Her fiction spans different moods and periods, from short pieces with unusual or speculative ideas to longer, later works. That range makes her an interesting figure for listeners who enjoy rediscovering lesser-known writers from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
