Very little is known about Elizabeth Corbett. Her known stand-alone works, with publication dates, are:
- Karl and the Queen of Queerland, 1880;
- 3 Wise Old Couples, 1881;
- "Jack and Jill" Comic Opera in 2 Acts, 1883;
- The Fairy of the Moonbeam, or Karl's Queer Stories, 1885 (probably a reprint of the 1880 book);
- Rustic Rhymes and Ballads: Comic Opera in 2 Acts, 1888.
She is referred to as a "popular poet of the late 1800's", and there are presumably additional poems of hers published in magazines of the times (e.g. "My Visit to Utopia"). All of her books were originally published in New York, so the location and dates of publications are consistent with a known gravestone for "Elizabeth T. Corbett" in Green-Wood Cemetery, Brooklyn, New York (unknown-July 8, 1899). (Data from Find-a-Grave .)
