Elizabeth Terhune Corbett (1830–1899) was an American author of poetry and children's books.
Biography
She was born Elizabeth Terhune Bogart in 1830 in New York City.
Her books include Bunch and Joker and Other Stories (1878), Karl and the Queen of Queer-land (1880), Three Wise Old Couples (1881), and Rustic Rhymes and Ballads (1883).
Corbett's story "My Visit to Utopia" has been studied since its 1869 publication in Harper's New Monthly Magazine.
One of her poems was republished in 2004 in a children's picture book under the title Three Wise Old Women with illustrations by Yu-Mei Han. Kirkus Reviews wrote that the illustrator "transform[s] a brief bit of 19th-century nonsense verse into an elaborately silly outing".
Corbett married Robert Henry Corbett around 1850. She died on July 8, 1899, in New York City.
