Autorenporträt
Humphry Mrs. Ward, born Mary Augusta Arnold in 1851 in Hobart, Tasmania, was a prominent English novelist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, heralded for her skilled storytelling and nuanced exploration of social issues and female experiences. Her literary pedigree was notable, with her being the niece of poet Matthew Arnold and the granddaughter of Thomas Arnold, the famed headmaster of Rugby School. Ward gained significant recognition with her 1888 novel 'Robert Elsmere,' which adeptly examined religious faith and doubt within the context of Victorian society, setting a precedent for the complex moral landscapes that would characterize her later work. 'The Case of Richard Meynell' (1911) further exemplifies Ward's fascination with the ideological struggles of her time, dissecting the tensions between religious tradition and emerging modern thought. Her insightful portrayals of her characters' inner lives and societal maneuvers, alongside her engagement with contemporary debates, have secured her position as a noteworthy figure in the annals of English literature, even as her popularity ebbed in the decades following her death in 1920 due to shifts in literary taste and critical perspective. Ward's contributions to literature, including her narrative craftsmanship and her earnest grappling with the evolving concerns of the England she lived in, endure as a testament to her literary acumen and historical significance.
