Autorenporträt
Alice Hegan Rice, also known as Alice Caldwell Hegan, was a notable American novelist born on January 11, 1870, in Shelbyville, Kentucky, and passed away on February 10, 1942. A native of Louisville, Kentucky, she gained most of her acclaim from her 1901 novel 'Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch,' which was an immediate bestseller and later adapted into plays and films. Her writing style often incorporated humor and pathos, depicting the lives of the underprivileged with both sympathy and levity. Another significant work from her collection is 'Lovey Mary,' published in 1903, which continued the themes of compassion and resilience that were present in her previous works. This novel focuses on a young orphan girl's efforts to protect an abandoned child, further underscoring Rice's recurrent theme of survival amidst adversity. Her literary contributions were characterized by their accessible narratives and engaging characters that resonated with a broad audience. Rice's impact on early 20th-century literature is still recognized today, and her works remain a testament to her literary skills and her deep humanistic concerns. Overall, she authored more than twenty novels, contributing richly to the American literary canon.
