Louis Moresby née Elizabeth Louisa Moresby was a British writer of short-stories, novels, biographies and esoteric books, under the names of L. Adams Beck, E. Barrington and Louis Moresby, and sometimes other variations: Lily Adams Beck, Elizabeth Louisa Beck, Eliza Louisa Moresby Beck and Lily Moresby Adams. Her first husband died around 1910 and then, in 1912, she remarried to retired solicitor Ralph Coker Adams Beck. In 1919, the marriage moved to Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, where she settled eventually and joined to the Canadian Authors Association. She became the first prolific, female fantasy novelist in Canada. . She began her writing career for The Atlantic Monthly, Asia, and the Japanese Gassho, publishing short-stories. These were gathered into collections since 1922. She was 60 years old by the time she started to publishing her novels, which commonly had an oriental setting. Her stories collected in The Opener of the Gate (1930) feature an occult detective inspired by the "John Silence" stories of Algernon Blackwood. According to the historian Charles Lillard, she was also a distinguished writer of esoteric works such as The Splendor of Asia (1926) and The Story of Oriental Philosophy (1928). She has been noted as a major writer of Theosophy. She also published under the pseudonym E. Barrington novelized biographies of British historical figures. The 1929 film The Divine Lady was based on her 1924 novel about Emma, Lady Hamilton, which was published as E. Barrington. Glorious Apollo (1925), a fictionalized biography of Lord Byron also published as E. Barrington, was a bestseller during the 1920s. The Thunderer is a historical novel revolving around the relationship between Napoleon and Joséphine. She continued to write and traveling until her death at 68, on 3 January 1931 in Kyoto, Japan.
