Elizabeth von Arnim (31 August 1866 - 9 February 1941) was an English novelist born Mary Annette Beauchamp. She was born in Australia, married a German aristocrat, and her early works take place in Germany. Her first marriage elevated her to the title of Countess von Arnim-Schlagenthin, and her second marriage elevated her to the title of Countess Russell. Following the death of her first husband, she had a three-year affair with novelist H. G. Wells, and then married Frank Russell, the elder brother of Nobel laureate and philosopher Bertrand Russell. Katherine Mansfield, a New Zealand-born novelist, was her cousin. Though she was born May, her debut novel introduced her to readers as Elizabeth, which she later became to friends and family. Elizabeth von Arnim is credited with her writings. She wrote only one novel under the pen name Alice Cholmondeley, Christine, in 1917. She was born on Kirribilli Point in Sydney, Australia, to rich shipping entrepreneur Henry Herron Beauchamp (1825-1907) and Elizabeth (nicknamed Louey) Weiss Lassetter (1836-1919). Her family referred to her as May. She was the youngest of five siblings. Kathleen Beauchamp, who was born in New Zealand and wrote under the pen name Katherine Mansfield, was one of her cousins.
