George Douglas Brown was een Schotse romanschrijver, vooral bekend van zijn zeer invloedrijke realistische roman The House with the Green Shutters (1901). Dit werk, dat een jaar voor zijn dood op 33-jarige leeftijd werd gepubliceerd, wordt geprezen om zijn rauwe realisme en inzichtelijke portrettering van het leven in een Schots dorp. De kenmerkende stijl van Brown en zijn vermogen om complexe menselijke emoties vast te leggen, hebben een onuitwisbare indruk achtergelaten in de literatuur.
