Autorenporträt

Canadian novelist Joanna Ellen Wood also referred to as Nelly Wood, was born in Canada. On December 28, 1867, in Lesmahagow, Scotland, Joanna Ellen Wood was born. Her family arrived in Irving, New York, in 1869, and shortly after that, they relocated to Ontario. Her principal residence in Canada as of 1913 was Queenston, Ontario, along with Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario. Wood also resided in a number of American cities and in France. Honora S. Howard stated that "[l]ack of nationality in her work and in other personal characteristics inclines us to place among the cosmopolites" in an 1896 profile for the Buffalo Courier-Express. In Wood's 1898 book Judith Moore, or, Fashioning a Pipe, the protagonist is small-town Ontario artist Andrew Cutler, who is a rising star in the arts and meets opera singer Judith Moore, who has performed throughout Europe and North America. According to Carrie MacMillan, Cutler embodies the "ideal Canadian type" of artist who can develop his skills without having to travel overseas. MacMillan refers to Wood in other writings as a "sentimental novelist" who was influenced by Thomas Hardy. Despite being primarily a novelist, Wood also wrote several serials and short stories. She was the best paid fiction writer in Canada in 1901.
