Elizabeth Drew Stoddard (May 6, 1823 – August 1, 1902) was an American poet and novelist. Soon after her marriage to Richard Henry Stoddard, the author, she began to publish poems in all the leading magazines, and thereafter, she was a frequent contributor.
Her verses were of a high order; she wrote for intellectual readers only.
She never collected the numerous poems she published in the periodicals, although there were enough of them to fill a large volume.
In addition to her poetical productions, she published three novels: The Morgesons (New York City, 1862); Two Men (1865), and Temple House (1867).
Those books did not find a large sale when first published, but a second edition, published in 1888, found a wider circle of readers.
They were pictures of New England scenes and characters.
In 1874, she published Lolly Dinks's Doings, a juvenile story.
