Autorenporträt
Ouida was the pen name of Marie Louise de la Ramée (1839-1908), a Victorian-era English novelist, short story writer, and critic. She was born in Bury St Edmunds, England, and spent much of her life in London and abroad in continental Europe. Ouida gained fame for her flamboyant and romantic writing style, which captivated readers and critics alike during the late 19th century. Her literary career began with the publication of her first novel, "Granville de Vigne," in 1859, but she achieved broader recognition with subsequent works such as "Under Two Flags" (1867) and "Moths" (1880). Ouida's novels often featured themes of passion, adventure, and social criticism, set against lavish and exotic backdrops. Beyond her fiction, Ouida was also known for her essays and articles, collected in volumes such as "Views and Opinions." In these writings, she expressed her views on various subjects including literature, society, politics, and the arts, reflecting her progressive and often controversial perspectives. Ouida's writing style was characterized by lush descriptions, melodrama, and a keen sense of satire. She was critical of Victorian society's moral constraints and advocated for greater personal freedom and artistic expression. Though her popularity waned in the early 20th century, Ouida remains a significant figure in Victorian literature, known for her bold and unconventional approach to storytelling and social commentary.
