Autorenporträt
Ellen Wood, better known as Mrs. Henry Wood, was a notable figure in Victorian literature, famous for her prolific output of sensational novels, often laced with mystery and domestic drama. Born Ellen Price on January 17, 1814, in Worcester, England, she married Henry Wood in 1836. Wood's writing career began in earnest when the family moved to France for financial reasons, allowing her the time to focus on her literary pursuits. One of her most successful works, 'East Lynne' (1861), typifies her style of exploring Victorian social mores and the complexities of moral choices within a framework of melodrama, and solidified her reputation as a masterful storyteller. Although less widely known, 'The Master of Greylands' is another example of her craftsmanship. Set in a sprawling English country house, the novel intertwines themes of identity, inheritance, and the immutable bylaws governing Victorian society. Critics have often pointed to Wood's storytelling prowess, her keen understanding of human nature, and her vivid characterizations as hallmarks of her literary style. Mrs. Wood passed away on February 10, 1887, but her contributions to the English novel, particularly to the sensation genre, have ensured her a lasting place in literary history.
