Autorenporträt
Ida Alexa Ross Wylie (16 March 1885 - 4 November 1959), who wrote under the pen name I.A.R. Wylie, was an Australian-British-American novelist, screenwriter, short story writer, poet, and supporter of women's right to vote. Her works were praised by the literary and journalism establishments of her time, and she was known around the world for them. More than thirty of her books and short stories were turned into movies between 1915 and 1953. One of these was Keeper of the Flame (1942), which starred Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn and was directed by George Cukor. Wylie's mother was an English farmer named Ida Millicent Ross (1855-1890), and her father was Alexander Coghill Wylie (1852-1910). She was born Ida Alexa Ross Wylie in Melbourne, Australia, on March 16, 1885. The father of I.A.R. Wylie, Alec Wylie, was from Glasgow, Scotland. He was in debt most of his life and was often on the run from debtors. So, sometime in the 1880s, after failing to become an MP, he left the UK for Australia. But not before his first wife divorced him in 1883 for cheating and violence, getting custody of their two children and asking her sister Christine to marry him, which she turned down. He quickly married Ida Ross, the daughter of a farmer in Australia.
