Autorenporträt
Ellen Wood, commonly known as Mrs. Henry Wood, was an English novelist in the 19th century, renowned for her sensational and melodramatic tales that captivated Victorian readers. Born Ellen Price on January 17, 1814, in Worcester, she married Henry Wood in 1836, which led her to often publish under the name 'Mrs. Henry Wood'. Her writing career began in earnest when her family faced financial difficulties, prompting her to contribute stories to magazines to supplement their income. One of her notable works, 'Trevlyn Hold', reflects her unique style, weaving a complex tapestry of mystery, familial strife, and secrets. Her writing often highlighted the social issues of the time, from gender roles to class disparity. Wood's work, exemplified by her best-known novel 'East Lynne' (1861), became staples of popular literature, solidifying her as a prominent figure among the writers of her era. Her prolific output included over 30 novels, with 'Trevlyn Hold' adding to her acclaim. Today, Mrs. Henry Wood's novels offer a window into the moral and cultural sensibilities of Victorian England. Her legacy persists as a cornerstone in the foundation of English sensational fiction.
