Catherine Ann Crowe (1803-1876) was an English novelist, story writer and playwright, who also wrote for children. Though set in middle-class life, her novels had complicated, sensational plots, while also commenting on the predicaments of Victorian women brought up in seclusion to be mistreated by those men who did not subscribe to standards of decent behavior. Later in life Crowe turned increasingly to supernatural subjects, inspired by German writers.
