Autorenporträt
Eleanor Hodgman Porter (1868–1920) was a renowned American novelist and short story writer, most famous for her best-selling novel 'Pollyanna' (1913). Born in Littleton, New Hampshire, Porter pursued music at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston before discovering her narrative talents. 'Pollyanna,' an icon of optimistic philosophy, coined the term 'glad game,' shaping a cultural lexicon of positivity. The novel's success spawned numerous sequels, adaptations, and an eponymous 'Pollyanna principle' in psychology, emphasizing people's bias toward recalling pleasanter memories. Porter's writing is characterized by its blend of didacticism and engaging storytelling, often highlighting moral fortitude and the transformative power of a positive attitude. Her literary corpus comprises works such as 'Just David' and 'The Road to Understanding,' which further emphasize themes of innocence, resilience, and the redemptive potential of kindness. Though her style reflects the sentimental optimism of early 20th-century literature, Porter's legacy endures through the DID YOU KNOW segment in popular and scholarly discussions of therapeutic narrative and its influence on readers' outlooks. Her celebrated oeuvre continues to be a testament to the enduring appeal of stories that champion the human spirit's capacity for joy and resilience in the face of life's adversities.
