Mary Eliza Fullerton

27 April 2015 · Leave a Comment

Mary Eliza Fullerton was born on 14 May 1868 in Glenmaggie, Victoria.

She wrote twelve books (six under her own name) and numerous poems. Her later books of poetry were published under the pseudonym of “E”, as she suspected that her work would otherwise suffer from prejudice, due to her being a female writer. She also wrote under the pseudonym “Alpenstock”.

She moved to England in 1922, and died in Maresfield, Sussex, on 23 February 1946.

Australia in the Fenlands: Links with Lincolnshire [1 March 1930]
