About the author
Born in Brockton, Massachusetts, in 1879, Katharine Fullerton Gerould studied privately in Boston and France before earning both her A.B. and A.M. from Radcliffe College. Early on, she won attention for her fiction, and she went on to teach English composition at Bryn Mawr College for about a decade.
Gerould became known as an accomplished short-story writer and essayist. Sources describe her work as finely crafted, and she published steadily in leading magazines of her day, including The Atlantic Monthly, Harper’s, Scribner’s, and Century. Her story collections include Vain Oblations, The Great Tradition, and Valiant Dust.
In 1910 she married Gordon Hall Gerould, and the couple had two children. She later lived in Princeton, New Jersey, where she died in 1944. No suitable verified portrait image was confirmed from the sources I checked, so a profile image is not included here.
