Born Edward Hugessen Knatchbull, he was the younger son of Sir Edward Knatchbull, 9th Baronet, who twice served as Paymaster-General, and his second wife Fanny Catherine Knight, who was a niece of author Jane Austen. Though forgotten and unread today, Knatchbull-Hugessen wrote many well-known short stories of fantasy and faery. Brabourne also edited the first edition of the novelist Jane Austen's letters, published in 1884.
This edition included about two-thirds of her surviving letters, and was dedicated to Queen Victoria. He inherited the letters after his mother's death in December 1882.
Jane Austen (born December 16, 1775 in Steventon, Basingstoke and Deane; died July 18, 1817 in Winchester) was a British writer of the Regency period whose major works Pride and Prejudice and Emma are among the classics of English literature.
