Ada Buisson, c. 1866

Ada Buisson (26 March 1839 – 27 December 1866) was an English author and novelist remembered today for her ghost stories.

Biography

Ada Buisson was born in Battersea in Surrey, the third-born child of French-born merchant Jean François (aka 'John Francis') Buisson (1797–1871) and his English wife Dorothy Jane (Шаблон:Nee Smither; 1817–1852).[1][2] Her eldest sibling was Leontine, who later became a teacher, trade union organiser, suffragist and campaigner for women's rights in Queensland in Australia.[3] Her father was declared bankrupt in 1842, and in about 1850 she and her family moved to Brighton,[1][4] where her mother died in 1852. From 1854 to 1855, along with her sisters Leontine and Irma, she studied Moral Philosophy and Natural History at the women-only Bedford College in London.[5]

Ada Buisson died in 1866 in Boulogne-sur-Mer, aged 27.[1]

Work

During her short lifetime Buisson published one novel, Put to the Test (1865), published by John Maxwell.[1] The remainder of her work, consisting of a second novel, A Terrible Wrong: A Novel (1867), published by T. C. Newby, and various short stories were published shortly after her early death. Various of her writings appeared in Belgravia, a magazine edited by her friend the novelist Mary Elizabeth Braddon,[1] whom she met through Braddon's husband, Buisson's publisher John Maxwell. Buisson's writings were later mistakenly ascribed to Braddon by Montague Summers, the noted authority on Gothic literature.[1]

Buisson's tale "The Ghost's Summons", published posthumously in Belgravia (January 1868),[6] has been anthologised in collections of ghost stories.[7][8][9] A collection of all five of her ghost stories, originally printed in Belgravia, was published in 2022 as The Baron's Coffin and Other Disquieting Tales.[10][11]
