Autorenporträt

Marie Belloc Lowndes (1868-1947) was a prolific British novelist and journalist known for her engrossing psychological fiction and for her exploration of social themes. Born in Marylebone, London, she was the sister of author Hilaire Belloc and daughter of French barrister Louis Belloc and English feminist Bessie Rayner Parkes. Lowndes began her writing career with contributions to periodicals and went on to publish over 40 novels and numerous short stories. Her most acclaimed work is the 1913 novel 'The Lodger', a suspenseful narrative that fictionalizes the Jack the Ripper murders and has been adapted into several films and plays. Reflecting her keen interest in the complexities of marriage and relationships, her book 'Studies in Wives' delves into the lives and psyches of different women, examining their roles and challenges in early 20th-century society. Lowndes' literary style frequently reveals her fascination with mystery and the darker aspects of the human psyche, often drawing readers into a world where characters grapple with secrecy, morality, and societal expectations. Her insightful portrayals of female characters and the societal norms that dictate their lives have contributed to Lowndes' lasting reputation as an important figure in the literary discussion of gender roles and domesticity.
