FAMOUS BRITISH AUTHORS
LADY ELEANORE SMITH
Lady Eleanor Furneaux Smith (1902, Birkenhead  1945) was an active member of the Bright
Young Things and an English writer.
Smith worked as a society reporter and cinema reviewer for a while, then as a publicist for circus
companies. In the latter role she travelled widely, and gained inspiration for her third career,
writing popular novels and short stories which often provided the basis for the 'Gainsborough
melodramas' of the period. These stories often had a romanticised historical or Gypsy setting,
based on her own research into Romany culture (she believed one of her paternal
great-grandmothers to have been a Gypsy). Smith also wrote ghost stories; many of them were
collected in her book Satan's Circus (1932).
