E. Lockhart is the pen name of Emily Jenkins, an American author of young adult fiction known for psychological stories about privilege, friendship, and family secrets.

传记与作者历程

E. Lockhart, the young adult pen name of Emily Jenkins, was born in New York City and grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Seattle, Washington, in a household shaped by teaching and theater: her mother worked in early-childhood education and her father, Len Jenkin, was a playwright. Books arrived early as both refuge and method. By eight she was already writing, and by nine she had made and distributed a homemade book of her own. At Vassar she studied English and illustrated books, then went on to Columbia for a doctorate in 19th-century English literature, focusing on the illustrated novel and the reading public.
