Were both Owen Wister and Edith Wharton American writers?
Owen Wister Owen Wister (July 14, 1860 – July 21, 1938) was an American writer, historian and "father" of western fiction. He is best remembered for writing "The Virginian" and a biography of American Civil War Lt. Gen. and 18th President Ulysses S. Grant.
Fanny Imlay Frances "Fanny" Imlay (14 May 1794 – 9 October 1816), also known as Fanny Godwin and Frances Wollstonecraft, was the daughter, born out of wedlock, of the British feminist Mary Wollstonecraft and the American commercial speculator and diplomat Gilbert Imlay. Wollstonecraft wrote about her frequently in her later works. Fanny grew up in the household of anarchist political philosopher William Godwin, the widower of her mother, with his second wife and their combined family of five children. Fanny's half-sister Mary grew up to write "Frankenstein" and married Percy Bysshe Shelley, a leading Romantic poet, who composed a poem on Fanny's death.
