Autorenporträt
Lucas Malet (1852—1931) was the pseudonym of Mary St Leger Kingsley, a Victorian novelist. Of her novels, The Wages of Sin and The History of Sir Richard Calmady were especially popular. Malet's fin de siecle novels offer "detailed, sensitive investigations of the psychology of masochism, perverse desires, unconventional gender roles, and the body." Malet lived for most of her life on the Continent with the singer Gabrielle Vallings. Vallings, much younger than Malet, was the author's cousin, romantic companion and adopted daughter. The two traveled abroad frequently together, including spending significant time in France. Malet spent much of the end of her life in France where she was a part of "high literary circles."
