Godfrey Sweven

Godfrey Sweven was the pen name of an author active in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He is best known for The Lime-Harbour, a curious work of imaginative fiction that has attracted readers interested in neglected fantasy and unusual fin-de-siècle writing.

Reliable biographical information appears to be scarce, and I could not confidently confirm more personal details beyond the dates you provided, 1845–1935. That air of uncertainty fits the name’s lasting appeal a little: Sweven remains one of those half-hidden literary figures whose reputation survives mainly through a distinctive book rather than a well-documented public life.
