More About the Author

From the time she found a volume of the poetry of Southern poet Sidney Lanier in a box at the back of an antique shop in Rye, England, Jane S. Gabin has been fascinated by overlooked writers. Her books have sought to bring recognition to talented individuals whose lives and work deserve more attention. The most recent, American Women in Gilded Age London, represents ten years of research. A native of New York City, Jane received her BA from Queens College and her MA and PhD degrees from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and currently divides her time between Manhattan and Chapel Hill. Beginning her career as an educator by teaching English, she has also worked in university admissions and is currently the director of college counseling at an independent school in the NY metro area. Jane believes her highest purpose is in guiding young people towards a life of enjoyment in learning. But her secret ambition is to play her accordion in the NYC subway.
