Autorenporträt

Elizabeth Inchbald was an English author, actress, playwright, and translator who lived from October 15, 1753, to August 1, 1821. A Simple Story and Nature and Art, her two books, have gotten a lot of good reviews. Lizzie Simpson was born on October 15, 1753, in Stanningfield, near Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk. She was the eighth child of Mary Simpson (née Rushbrook) and her farmer husband John Simpson (died 1761). The family was Roman Catholic, as were many others in the area. Elizabeth and her sisters went to school at home while her brother went to school. Inchbald had a problem with his speech. From a young age, she was interested in playing and worked hard to control her stammer. However, when she tried to get a job at the Norwich Theatre in early 1770, her family told her not to. George, her brother, became an actor the same year. Still set on her goal, Inchbald went to London in April 1772, when she was 18, to become an actor. Even though Inchbald wasn't very well known as an actor, she became a famous playwright and author after her husband died. Because she was successful as a writer, she didn't need her ex-spouse's money, so she didn't get married again. Her first published works were in The Artist and the Edinburgh Review.
