Autorenporträt

Alice Brown, an American novelist, poet, and playwright, was best known for her local color stories. She also wrote a chapter for the collaborative novel The Whole Family (1908). She was born in Hampton Falls, New Hampshire, and graduated from the Robinson Female Seminary in Exeter in 1876. She eventually worked as a schoolteacher for five years before relocating to Boston to write full-time in 1884. She began working for the Christian Register before moving on to the Youth's Companion in 1885. She was a prolific novelist for many years, but her fame declined around the turn of the twentieth century. She wrote one book per year until she stopped in 1935. She communicated with Rev. Michael Earls of the College of the Holy Cross and Father J. M. Lelen of Falmouth, Kentucky, with whom she shared poems. Yale University and Holy Cross presently contain the only substantial collections of her letters, as she directed that the majority of her personal correspondence be destroyed upon her death. Brown died in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1948.
