Autorenporträt
Ellen Wood (née Price) (1814-1887), better known by her pen name Mrs. Henry Wood, was a prolific English novelist in the Victorian era, renowned for her strong narratives and often sensational plotlines that captivated the reading public. Her most celebrated work, 'East Lynne' (1861), was a resounding success, securing her reputation as a writer of domestic sensation novels. Wood engaged with themes of adultery, social pressures, and morality, which were prevalent in her time, yet she presented them with a unique melodramatic flair that kept readers enthralled. Another notable work, 'Oswald Cray' (1864), further exemplifies Mrs. Wood's fascination with character study in conjunction to the cultural mores and personal struggles, often reflecting Victorian society's clash with modernity. Her literary style, characterized by intricate plots, engaging dialogues, and dramatic tension, not only entertained but also subtly critiqued societal norms. Wood's contributions to the literary genre are acknowledged through her extensive oeuvre, which includes over 30 novels. She also became the proprietor and editor of the literary journal 'The Argosy' in 1867, wherein she published several of her own shorter works and serials. Mrs. Henry Wood's works remain an integral part of studying Victorian literature and culture, providing insight into the era's complex dynamics and the role of women within it.
