She also published novels, poems and numerous short stories. She was a "social outlaw" (as a friend described her) by refusing to marry, by converting to Catholicism, by moving out of the house of older brother, Benjamin H. Brewster (who later served as United States Attorney General in the 1880s), in order to live alone, by moving to Rome, and, foremost, by continuing to write through it all, first as a dilettante and then as a self-supporting professional. Brewster had a very close relationship with Charlotte Cushman but she forced herself to break away regretting it years later. Brewster died in Siena, Italy, and left her writings and books to the Library Company of Philadelphia. She also used the pen name of Enna Duval (Enna being Anne in reverse) for work published between 1845 and 1860) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Hampton_Brewster> VIAF, viewed February 3, 2023 (preferred forms: Brewster, Anne M.
