Eliza Lee

Eliza Lee

Eliza (Buckminster) Lee (1792-1864) was an American author, the daughter of Joseph Buckminster. She was born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire; was well educated by her father and brother, Joseph Stevens Buckminster; married a Thomas Lee of Boston; became a writer; and was unusually felicitous in her descriptions of New England life. She wrote, notably: "Sketches of New England Life" (1837); "Naomi, or Boston Two Hundred Years Ago" (1848); and memoirs of her father and brother (1849). She translated from the German, wrote a life of Richter (1842), and published an historical novel, "Parthenia, the Last Days of Paganism" (1858).
