Frances Eliza Hodgson (24 November 1849 – 29 October 1924) was a British-American novelist and playwright and was the daughter of ironmonger Edwin Hodgson, who died three years after her birth, and his wife Eliza Boond.
She was born in Cheetham, Manchester, England. After her father died in 1853, the family fell on hard times and after moving about, eventually emigrated to the United States in 1865, settling in New Market, Tennessee.
She was educated at The Select Seminary for Young Ladies and Gentleman near Salford until the age of fifteen, at which point the family ironmongery, then being run by her mother, failed, and the family emigrated to Knoxville, Tennessee.
Here Hodgson began to write, in order to supplement the family income, assuming full responsibility for the family upon the death of her mother, in 1870. In 1872 she married Dr. Swan Burnett, with whom she had two sons, Lionel and Vivian. The marriage was dissolved in 1898. In 1900 Burnett married actor Stephen Townsend until 1902 when they got divorced.
Following her great success as a novelist, playwright, and children's author, Burnett maintained homes in both England and America, travelling back and forth quite frequently. She died in her Long Island, New York home, in 1924.
