Elizabeth Visits America Elinor Glyn

This early work by Elinor Glyn was originally published in 1909 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'Elizabeth Visits America' is a tale of a woman travelling across America and the romantic liaisons she experiences along the way. Elinor Glyn was born on 17th October 1864 in Saint Helier, Jersey. She was the youngest daughter of a civil engineer, Douglas Southerland, and his wife Elinor Saunders. Elinor Glyn began her writing career in 1900 and was a pioneer of the risqué and romantic fiction genre. She went on to write many popular books such as 'Beyond the Rocks' (1906), 'Love's Blindness' (1926), and 'It' (1927), in which she coined the term 'It', meaning the animal magnetism that some individuals possess.
