Autorenporträt
Ellen Wood (1814–1887), known as Mrs. Henry Wood, was an English novelist who became widely popular in the Victorian era, gaining fame for her sensational and melodramatic novels. Wood's literary career started later in life, after she had married and raised a family, which was not uncommon for female writers of her time. Her writing was characterized by intricate plots and an often moralistic tone, reflecting the values and conflicts of the society in which she lived. One of her works, 'Johnny Ludlow, Fifth Series' (1899), is a collection of tales within her wider Johnny Ludlow series, showing her adeptness in creating compelling narratives from the perspective of the titular character, a shrewd and observant young man. Mrs. Henry Wood's novels often focused on themes such as social class, crime, and the domestic sphere, resonating with her readership and helping to cement her place in the world of 19th-century literature. Despite being rooted in the time's sentiment, Wood's stories continue to be read and appreciated for their depiction of Victorian society and her skill in storytelling.
