Helen Corinne Bergen

Biography

Helen Corinne Bergen was born in Delanco, New Jersey, the oldest child of Colonel George B. Bergen and Ella (Winner) Bergen.[1][2] She grew up in Michigan, where she began writing for the newspapers.[1] She later lived in Washington, D.C., Louisiana, and Texas, working for the Washington Post and various periodicals like the American Magazine and southern newspapers.[1] She was the Post's children's department editor and also wrote music and drama criticism, poetry, sketches, and stories. Her work includes a dramatic poem, The Princess Adelaide, published in book form in 1900, and When Jack Comes Late, a "comedy monologue for a lady" (1893).

In 1894, prospectuses appeared for a new "contemporary review" entitled The Stiletto and the Rose for which Bergen was to be the editor and manager.[3] It intended to focus on articles dealing with leading questions of the day, poetry, and reviews, but it appears that it never actually got off the ground.[3]
