Autorenporträt

Augusta Jane Evans (1835-1909) was an American novelist best known for her works of Southern literature. Born in Columbus, Georgia, she was raised in the antebellum South and her writing reflects the cultural and social dynamics of that time, often focusing on themes such as familial duty, romantic relationships, and social conventions. A supporter of the Confederacy during the American Civil War, Evans' personal and political views often influenced the content of her works. Her novels gained significant popularity in the late 19th century and became a key example of the "sentimental novel" genre, which was popular among women readers at the time. Evans' novels often highlighted themes of personal sacrifice, religious faith, and the complex roles of women within Southern society. Despite the success of her books, Evans' works were banned by the American Library Association in 1881, possibly due to their perceived moral and religious overtones. Her work continues to be a part of the literary conversation about the American South and its complex history.
