Edward Payson Roe (1838-1888) was an American chaplain, pastor and novelist. His works included Barriers Burned Away (1872), which first appeared as a serial in the Evangelist and made him widely known, Near to Natures Heart (1876), A Day of Fate (1880) and many others. His novels were very popular in their day, and were translated into several European languages. Their strong moral and religious purpose, and their being written by a clergyman, did much to break down a Puritan prejudice in America against works of fiction.
