Autorenporträt
Elizabeth Thomasina Meade Smith (1854-1914), commonly known as L. T. Meade, was a prolific Irish writer, particularly famous for her books targeted at young girls. Born in Bandon, County Cork, Ireland, Meade moved to London in 1874 where she would embark on her writing career. Her works often tackled contemporary issues and occasionally infused with thrilling narratives. Among her most renowned works is 'The Brotherhood of the Seven Kings' (1899), a story that intertwines crime with the sophistication of high society, co-authored by Robert Eustace. This particular book was distinguished by its masterful blend of suspense and the early elements of detective fiction, contributing to the genre at a time when it was largely in its infancy. It's through such works that Meade became a precursor to future female mystery writers. In her literary career, she published over 300 books, her prolific nature and the diversity of her written material earning her a considerable reputation during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Meade's work is characterized by her insightful portrayal of young female protagonists and for that, she is often considered a pioneer in shaping the girls' school story genre. Her writing style and themes resonated well with her readers, making her one of the most loved authors of her day and a significant figure in children's literature.
