Autorenporträt
Eleanor Hodgman Porter (1868-1920) was an eminent American novelist, renowned for her depictions of optimistic and resilient characters confronting adversity. Born in Littleton, New Hampshire, Porter pursued her initial literary interest through vocal and piano studies, intending to cultivate a career in music. Despite this early orientation, her proclivities gravitated towards literature, culminating in her first novel, 'Cross Currents' (1907), followed by a series of successful books. However, it is her work 'Miss Billy' (1911), alongside the beloved 'Pollyanna' (1913), for which she is most celebrated. 'Miss Billy,' a character-driven narrative, captures the essence of her writing style, characterized by charming wit, engaging storytelling, and an unwavering belief in the goodness of human nature. Porter's literary style can be recognized by her mastery of expressive dialogue and keen insight into the domestic life of her era, underscoring the transformative power of positivity. Her contribution to the genre of children's literature and her pivotal role in crafting stories that emphasize the 'glad game,'—finding something to be glad about in every situation—have cemented her legacy in American literature. Reflecting the prevailing cultural ethos of the early 20th century, Porter's work amalgamated the moralistic tone of the era with an irrepressible optimism that continues to resonate with readers across generations.
