Autorenporträt
E. M. Delafield, born Edmée Elizabeth Monica de la Pasture in 1890, was a prolific English author best known for her sharp wit and keen observations of British middle-class life. Raised in an aristocratic family, Delafield's early life exposed her to the societal expectations and constraints that would later become central themes in her work. She began her literary career after serving as a Voluntary Aid Detachment nurse during World War I, an experience that deeply influenced her perspective on women's roles and societal norms. Delafield gained widespread recognition with her popular Diary of a Provincial Lady series, which humorously chronicled the everyday life of a middle-class housewife in 1930s England. Her writing, often laced with subtle satire, was both reflective of and critical toward the conventions of her time. She tackled issues such as gender roles, class, and the emotional and psychological challenges faced by women trapped in societal expectations, as seen in works like Consequences. Throughout her career, Delafield authored numerous novels, plays, and essays, solidifying her reputation as a prominent voice in early 20th-century literature. Her work remains celebrated for its blend of humor, insight, and social commentary. She passed away in 1943, leaving behind a rich literary legacy.
