Autorenporträt
E. M. Delafield, the pen name for Edmée Elizabeth Monica Dashwood, née de la Pasture (1890–1943), was a renowned English author celebrated for her incisive wit and keen observations of domestic and social life. Born into a literary family—her mother was novelist Mrs. Henry de la Pasture—Delafield began writing at a young age, eventually making a name for herself with the publication of 'The War-Workers' in 1918. This book, which provided a satirical examination of the tumultuous milieu of wartime England, drew on Delafield's personal experiences working with the Voluntary Aid Detachment during World War I. Delafield is perhaps best known for her 'Provincial Lady' series, which began with 'Diary of a Provincial Lady' in 1930, where she employs a diaristic approach infused with humor and astute social commentary to chronicle the everyday life of a middle-class woman. Her literary style is characterized by its understated irony and its ability to elicit both laughter and a deep empathy. She became a prolific author, contributing regularly to periodicals such as Time and Tide and producing an extensive body of work that includes novels, short stories, and plays. Her literary contributions have endured, allowing her to maintain a place amongst the respected British writers of the early twentieth century. Her work has been influential in the development of the genre of women's diary fiction and social satire.
