The daughter of Henry W. Warner, a respected New England lawyer, Susan and her sister Anna inherited their writing skills from their father. Anna would go on to become a well-known author writing under the pseudonym of Amy Lothrop and Susan adopted the pseudonym of Elizabeth Wetherell. She published her first novel, The Wide, Wide World, in 1851. Undoubtedly her best work, it achieved a great deal of success both in America and abroad. The following year, she published the equally successful Queechy. In 1860, she collaborated with her sister on the novel Say and Seal, and they would work together on other novels over the years. A devout Christian, many of Warner's works contain an underlying religious theme. Her other works include The Law and the Testimony (1853), The Hills of the Shatemuc (1856), The Old Helmet (1863), Melbourne House (1864), Daisy (1868), A Story of Small Beginnings (1872) and The Kingdom of Judah (1878). |
