Short biography
Elinor Glyn was a hugely popular early 20th century novelist and screenwriter who pioneered mass market fiction for women. She coined the term "It" as a euphemism for sex appeal. A scene in one of her works inspired the famous doggerel: "Would you like to sin, with Elinor Glyn, On a tiger skin? Or would you prefer, To err with her, On some other fur?"

Glyn was among the guests at William Randolph Hearst's party on board his yacht Oneida on November 15, 1924 when producer Thomas Ince was shot.

Author Disambiguation

How many authors?

Elinor Glyn is currently considered a "single author." If one or more works are by a distinct, homonymous authors, go ahead and split the author.

This entry includes…

Combine with…

What?

Q: What is this feature for/why is it necessary?

A: Because LibraryThing draws from so many different libraries, it can't enforce a single name for a given author. "Also known as" lets LibraryThing users combine author's names easily, so collections match up and everything runs smoothly.

Q: Can I combine with an author not suggested above?

A: Yes you can.

Q: I know an author is separate, but some well-meaning but deplorably uninformed person keeps combining them! Can I take a name off the combination list?

A: Yes you can.

Look up! Everything in the "Combine with..." section now has a link to "never combine." Use this feature wisely. "Marc Twain" may be idiotic, but misspelling should still be combined. "Mark Twain" and "Edward Gibbon" should not.

Q: What authors have already been slated to "never combine" with this author?

A: No authors.

Q: I am said person and I'm right!

A: Take it to the Combiners group.
