Autorenporträt
Rhoda Broughton (1840-1920) was a notable Victorian author, whose contributions to the domain of English literature were marked by her distinctive narrative style and bold character portrayals. She started her literary career under the tutelage of her uncle, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, an eminent Gothic writer of his time. Broughton first gained recognition with her debut novel 'Cometh Up as a Flower' (1867), which set the tone for her controversial, yet highly engaging, exposes of Victorian society. Her work often challenged the moral and social norms of her era, particularly in the representation of female characters and their desires. 'Red as a Rose is She' is another example of Broughton's engaging literary style, showcasing her ability to blend romantic narrative with incisive social commentary. In this novel, Broughton explores the complexities of love, beauty, and social expectations, crafting a memorable and poignant tale that resonates with readers' universal emotions. Throughout her career, Broughton authored over 25 novels and numerous short stories, making her a significant literary figure and a precursor to the 'New Woman' novels of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Her literary legacy continues to be studied for its contributions to feminist literature and its critique of Victorian mores.
