Biography

Elise Sofie Aars was born at Lier in Buskerud, Norway. She was the daughter of priest and politician Nils Fredrik Julius Aars (1807–65) and Sofie Elisabeth Stabel (1813–86). She grew up in rectories located in Alta in Finnmark and Lom in Gudbrandsdalen. She was married to professor and government minister Ludvig Mariboe Benjamin Aubert. Among their children were jurist Vilhelm Mariboe Aubert (1868–1908) and film critic Sofie Aubert Lindbæk (1875–1953) .[1][2][3]

During the 1870s, Aubert delivered short-stories, articles and serials to newspapers, signing with the pseudonyms "Tante Dorthe" or "E-e". Some of these were released as the book Fra Hovedstaden i Syttiaarene in 1892. Among her novels are Dagny from 1882 and Bølgeslag from 1886. Aubert published the memoir book Fra de gamle Prestegaarde in 1902. After her death in 1909, a selection of her letters and diaries (Fra Krinoline-Tiden. Elise Auberts Ungdomsbreve og Dagbøker) were first published in 1921 by her daughter, Sofie Lindbæk.[4]
