Autorenporträt
D. K. Broster, born Dorothy Kathleen Broster (1877-1950), was a British novelist and short story writer, known for her historical romance novels and her vivid storytelling. Broster served as a Red Cross nurse during World War I, an experience which influenced much of her literary work. After the war, she focused on writing, garnering acclaim for her meticulously researched historical settings and her ability to bring the past to life with compelling characters and intricate plots. Broster's most famous work is perhaps 'The Flight of the Heron' (1925), the first book in her 'Jacobite Trilogy,' set in Scotland during the 1745 Jacobite uprising. The trilogy continued with 'The Gleam in the North' (1927) and 'The Dark Mile' (1929), which solidified her reputation for skillful blending of history and fiction. Broster's ability to convey the emotional lives of her characters against the backdrop of significant historical events has cemented her legacy as an important figure in early 20th-century British literature. Though not as widely read today, her works continue to be studied for their portrayal of historical events and their contribution to the genre of historical romance.
