Autorenporträt
Ethel M. Dell (1881-1939) was an English writer predominantly recognized for her romance novels that captivated a significant readership in the early 20th century. Born Ethel Mary Dell in Streatham, a district of South London, she was the younger daughter in a family of four. Initially working as a private secretary, Dell fuelled her fervent interest in writing by crafting stories in her leisure time. Her inaugural novel, 'The Way of an Eagle', was published in 1911 and swiftly became a bestseller, cementing her reputation as an author with a flair for dramatic and passionate narratives. Her writing style, though occasionally critiqued for its melodramatic elements, was undeniably influential in shaping the romance genre of her time. Dell was prolific, producing a substantial body of work that included over 30 novels and several short stories. Among her notable works is 'The Top of the World' (1917), which is exemplary of her literary style, featuring robust emotional plotlines and compelling character dynamics. Despite the decline in her popularity following her death and literary shifts through the 20th century, Dell's novels remain emblematic of the period's romantic fiction, characterized by their capacity to invoke intense sentiment and escapism among readers. Her contributions to the field persist in being recognized by scholars and enthusiasts of historical romance literature.
