Autorenporträt

Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924), born in Cheetham, England, was a playwright and author best known for her enduring children's books. Burnett's work highlights her literary flexibility, from her early romantic stories to famous children's literature. Notably, she emigrated with her family to the United States in 1865, settling in Tennessee, which colored her literary backdrop with themes of socioeconomic differences and the pastoral (Gerzina, 2004). Burnett's literary style skilfully incorporates vivid character development and detailed settings, weaving through themes of loss, rejuvenation, and transformation. Her classic works include 'The Secret Garden', 'A Little Princess', and 'Little Lord Fauntleroy'-stories that continue to captivate readers with their exploration of childhood, moral challenges, and the ability to transcend hardship. 'The Secret Garden' particularly reflects her style of using the garden as a metaphor for the nurturing and growth of her characters (Carpenter, 1984). Burnett's influence on children's literature is profound, with her works being adapted into films, plays, and television series, further attesting to the timeless relevance of her stories. 'The Best of Frances Hodgson Burnett' offers readers a collection of her most cherished stories, a testament to her remarkable contribution to literature.
