Mrs Alexander
Caroline Rosetta Fraser, known by her pen name Mrs. Alexander, was a prominent Victorian romance writer and the estranged wife of General Alexander Fraser. Born on February 10, 1829, in British-occupied India to English parents, Caroline spent most of her youth in India, with the exception of a two-year stint studying in Paris. Caroline married Alexander Fraser, a lieutenant in the Bengal Engineer Group, on March 11, 1847. They had two sons together, but their marriage began to crumble, coinciding with the start of Caroline's writing career. By the 1871 British Census, she was living with her widowed mother and sons in England. Caroline unsuccessfully applied for a legal separation in 1867 and 1885. General Fraser eventually returned to England and lived independently with a second family. Caroline's exact place of death is a topic of discrepancy, with some sources stating Steyning, Sussex, England, while records related to her burial indicate her passing in Withdean, Brighton on December 8, 1908. Caroline Rosetta Fraser, writing under the name Mrs. Alexander Fraser, left behind a significant literary legacy, captivating readers with her Victorian-era romances.
