Jane C. Webb Loudon war eine englische Autorin und eine frühe Pionierin der Science-Fiction, die schrieb, bevor der Begriff erfunden wurde. Ihr Werk wurde lange als Gothic-Fiktion, Fantasy oder Horror kategorisiert, doch sie erforschte fantasievolle Erzählungen ihrer Zeit voraus. Sie verfasste auch die ersten populären Gartenhandbücher und unterschied sie von spezialisierteren gärtnerischen Texten. Darüber hinaus trug sie zu den literarischen Unternehmungen ihres Mannes, John Claudius Loudon, bei.
