{{Use dmy dates|date=June 2018}}{{infobox person/Wikidata | fetchwikidata=ALL | onlysourced=yes}}Elsa d'Esterre-Keeling (born Elizabeth Henrietta Keeling; 16 November 1857 – 13 January 1935) was an Irish-born novelist, translator and teacher.^[1]

Early life

She was born in Dublin to John Keeling and Adelaide Eleonore Hughes. Her father died while she was quite young and she, along with her mother and three sisters, moved to Germany in 1874.^[2] In Germany she continued her education and did translation work for the British Legation in Stuttgart and the British Consulate General in Frankfurt.^[2]

Career

Keeling moved to Britain in the 1880s, where she became a school teacher and eventually opened her own school, Danvers College. At this time she also began her career as a writer and adopted the pen-name Elsa D'Esterre-Keeling, producing a series of novels and short stories that were published in London during the 1880s and 1890s.^[2] She also translated works from German, such as Friedrich von Bodenstedt's translation of the Persian poetry of Mirza Shafi Vazeh.

Later life and death

By 1900 Keeling had finished creative writing, in order to focus on teaching. She never married, but adopted twelve children, and died in Wimbledon on 13 January 1935.^[1]
