Josephine Pinckney

Josephine Lyons Scott Pinckney (January 25, 1895 – October 4, 1957) was a novelist and poet in the literary revival of the American South after World War I.

[1] Josephine Pinckney was born in Charleston, South Carolina on January 25, 1895 to Thomas Pinkney and Camilla Scott.

Autobiographical snippet from the dust cover of Three O'clock Dinner:[citation needed] Josephine Pinckney may be described as a cosmopolitan Charlestonian.

She has traveled widely abroad, spent a year in Italy, lived winters in New York and summers in Mexico, but she always goes back to home and garden in Charleston, just as her family, well known in the south, has for generations.

A literary lady, she has previously published a book of poems, "Sea Drinking Cities" and a novel, Hilton Head.
