Clara Louisa Rogers Antrobus (1846 – 1919) was a British novelist of works set in northwest England.
Clara Louisa Rogers was born in Grantham, Lincolnshire, the daughter of surgeon Newcome Rogers and Margaret Hannings Rogers. She was raised in Bowden, Cheshire. In 1871, she married Arthur John Antrobus but he died the next year.[1]
Her first novel, Wildersmoor (1895), depicts the astute wife of a clergyman and features the countryside and accents of Lancashire and Cheshire. Her story collection The Wine of Finvarra (1902) likewise features rural settings and local color. Her native Bowden is depicted as "Ring-Way" in her novel about a doomed romance, Quality Corner (1901). Her The Stone Ezel (1910) is about an old monument on the moors of Lancashire which bears witness to familial tragedies. [1][2]
She died in London on February 5, 1919.[3]
