Mrs. Henry Wood (born Ellen Price, January 17, 1814 – February 10, 1887) was an English novelist, whose literary output was formidable and who became one of the bestselling authors of her time. Her skill in crafting engaging melodramas, characterized by their vivid characterization and intricate plot twists, secured her a vast readership both in England and abroad. Wood is best known for her novel 'East Lynne', a work of immense popularity that overshadowed her other writings, yet several of her works, including 'The Channings' (1862), deserve notable mention for their contribution to Victorian literature. 'The Channings' presents an engaging tale of clerical life and middle-class existence, revealing her keen insight into human nature and social mores of the period. Wood's narrative style often incorporated elements of sensationalism, with domestic and moral challenges facing her characters, and this is exemplified in 'The Channings', which combines a sense of moral pondering with dramatic incidents, including wrongful accusations and familial strife, to engage the reader's emotions.
