Florence McLandburgh (1850–1934), who also used the pen name McLandburgh Wilson, was an American writer and poet who regularly contributed to a number of popular magazines, including Scribner's Monthly, Harper's Magazine, Munsey's Mazagine, Ainslee's Magazine, The Atlantic Monthly, The Saturday Evening Post and others.[1] Her work includes the collection, The Automaton Ear and Other Sketches (1876), the titular device in which enables its protagonist to listen to the sounds of the past, functioning as a sonic time viewer.[2]

Her work has been of particular interest to scholars of ideas, technologies and experiences of sound across the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.[3][4]
