Autorenporträt
E. M. Delafield, the nom de plume of Edmée Elizabeth Monica Dashwood, née de la Pasture (1890-1943), was an esteemed English author best known for her largely autobiographical Diary of a Provincial Lady series. With a literary career that spanned the inter-war period, Delafield's incisive wit and keen observation of domestic life won her the affection and admiration of a widespread readership. While much of her work is characterized by a light, satirical touch, she also ventured into more somber territory. 'The Messalina of the Suburbs' is one such work, delving into psychological and social themes. This novel, among others, illustrates Delafield's versatility and her ability to engage with darker human experiences, while maintaining a distinct narrative voice. A member of the notoriously intellectual group of writers, The Detection Club, Delafield's contributions extend beyond her own bibliography, reflecting the breadth of her engagement with literary society at the time. Throughout her career, she maintained a delicate balance between humor and the gravity of the subjects she chose to explore, thus securing her place in the annals of 20th-century British literature.
