Autorenporträt
Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849–1924) was a British-American novelist and playwright, best remembered for her impact on children's literature and her foray into novels dealing with social issues and romance. Born in Manchester, England, she emigrated with her family to the United States, settling in Tennessee post-Civil War. Burnett's early career was fostered by the burgeoning literary magazines of the time, where she published stories to ease her family's financial strains. Her literary style blended an acute sense of character psychology with a keen observation of social class distinctions, elements reflected in her works including the acclaimed 'The Making of a Marchioness (Emily Fox-Seton, Complete)'. This novel, among others, showcases Burnett's narrative prowess and her astute exploration of themes such as women's societal roles and the transformative power of love and kindness. While perhaps most celebrated for her children's classics such as 'The Secret Garden' and 'Little Lord Fauntleroy', Burnett's adult novels have earned critical recognition for their depth and their portrayal of the complexities of Victorian society. Her works have been highlighted for their timeless appeal and their ability to transcend the boundaries between child and adult literature, capturing the hearts of readers across generations.
