George Douglas Brown war ein schottischer Romanautor, der vor allem für seinen äußerst einflussreichen realistischen Roman The House with the Green Shutters (1901) bekannt ist. Dieses Werk, das ein Jahr vor seinem Tod im Alter von 33 Jahren veröffentlicht wurde, wird für seinen rohen Realismus und seine aufschlussreiche Darstellung des Lebens in einem schottischen Dorf gelobt. Browns unverwechselbarer Stil und seine Fähigkeit, komplexe menschliche Emotionen einzufangen, hinterließen einen unauslöschlichen Eindruck in der Literatur.
