Anne Goodwin Winslow (June 14, 1875 – November 25, 1959) was an American novelist and short-story writer who published her first work of prose at the age of 68.
[1] Born and raised outside Memphis, Tennessee, she married Eben Eveleth Winslow, an officer in the Army Corps of Engineers who had been the number one graduate in the class of 1889 at West Point.
[6] Two years later—and just one month after her son Randolph died of pneumonia while serving with the U. S. Army in Europe,[7] she published her first work of fiction, A Winter in Geneva, which included one novelette and seven short stories.
Although he compared Winslow's writing to that of Edith Wharton, The New York Times' Orville Prescott concluded that the book "... promises much, but produces little.
[10] In a piece titled, "On the Death of an American Artist," Jacques Barzun wrote, "The qualities of Anne Winslow's fiction are a great precision in observing and telling, a capacity to render the passage of empty time, an ease and economy in evoking character and scene that makes for brevity but is neither arrogant nor dry.
