Autorenporträt
Maud Diver, née Alice Maud Meadows (1867 – 1945), was an Anglo-Indian author notable for her novels and writings that often reflected the experiences and complexities of British colonial life in India. Born in Murree, British India, now in Pakistan, her literary career was largely influenced by her upbringing in the milieu of the British Raj. Diver's works typically revolved around themes such as cultural conflicts, colonial society, and the lives of Anglo-Indians. She wrote with an intimate knowledge of military life, which was a consistent backdrop for her characters' adventures and romances. Among her notable works is the novel 'Far to Seek' (1924), which illustrates the lives of her protagonists against the sweeping backdrop of the Indian Independence movement, capturing the social and political climate of the time. Diver's literary style is often characterized by a vivid portrayal of setting, melodramatic narratives, and a deep exploration of human relationships, crafted with a strong command of language and description. Her contributions to literature pertaining to India under British rule have been subject to academic interest, particularly in postcolonial studies, where her work serves as a lens into the Anglo-Indian psyche and the era's cultural dynamics (Lahiri, 2000).
