author
b. 1872
An early 20th-century novelist published under her married name, she is best remembered for East of the Shadows. Project Gutenberg identifies her as Edith Noël Daniell, a small but intriguing clue to the woman behind that pen name.
by Mrs. Hubert Barclay
Published as Mrs. Hubert Barclay, she is listed by Project Gutenberg under the alias Edith Noël Daniell. That kind of byline was common in her era, when many women writers were presented through their husbands' names rather than their own.
The work most easily confirmed today is East of the Shadows, a novel from the early 1900s that has remained accessible through Project Gutenberg. Although surviving online biographical details appear to be very limited, the record suggests a writer whose work has outlasted much of the public information about her life.
Because reliable sources found here were sparse, important personal details beyond her published name and alias are hard to confirm with confidence. In cases like this, her surviving fiction may tell readers more about her world than the remaining reference entries do.
