Evelyn Scott (writer)
Evelyn Scott was an American novelist, playwright and poet. A modernist and experimental writer, Scott "was a significant literary figure in the 1920s and 1930s, but she eventually sank into critical oblivion."
Her first husband was Frederick Creighton Wellman, under his pseudonym, Cyril Kay-Scott, but she also had an affair with Owen Merton, father of Thomas Merton.
Scott later married the English writer John Metcalfe.
She sometimes wrote under the pseudonym Ernest Souza, and under her birth name, Elsie Dunn.Fiction
