Autorenporträt
Margaret Pollock Sherwood was an American author of books, short stories, poems, and essays. She was born November 1, 1864, and died September 24, 1955. She was born in Ballston, New York, on November 1, 1864. She was the sister of Mary Sherwood. She graduated from a private boarding school in Newburgh, New York, where she went to high school, and from Vassar College in 1886. Following a semester at the University of Zurich in 1888, she went on to study at the University of Oxford for another semester. From 1889 until her retirement in 1931, she taught English at Wellesley College. She got her Ph.D. from Yale University in 1898 and her Doctor of Letters from New York University in 1920. She taught part-time at the University Extension of Columbia University for a number of years. Publishing her first book under the name "Elizabeth Hastings" (1895, Macmillan), many people wondered who the real author was. In her novel Henry Worthington, Idealist (1899, Macmillan), she made up a story about an argument at Wellesley about whether to take money from John D. Rockefeller.
