Autorenporträt
Elizabeth von Arnim was born on August 31, 1866, in Kirribilli Point, Australia, as Mary Annette Beauchamp. Her family moved to England when she was young, and she was educated in London. In 1891, she married a German count, Henning von Arnim-Schlagenthin, and relocated to his family estates in Prussia. It was during her time in Germany that she began writing, adopting the pen name "Elizabeth" and later becoming widely recognized for her debut novel, Elizabeth and Her German Garden (1898), a semi-autobiographical account of her life on the estate. This novel's success established her literary reputation and led to a prolific career as a writer.Elizabeth's personal life was marked by both joys and challenges. She had five children with her first husband, but her marriage was often strained due to Henning's traditional views and financial troubles. After his death in 1910, Elizabeth returned to England, where she continued to write. In 1916, she married John Francis Stanley Russell, the 2nd Earl Russell, brother of philosopher Bertrand Russell. This second marriage, however, was unhappy and ended in separation. Throughout her life, Elizabeth was known for her wit, independence, and her ability to capture the nuances of human relationships and the complexities of women's lives in her novels.Despite her personal struggles, Elizabeth von Arnim remained an influential literary figure in the early 20th century. She published over 20 books, including The Enchanted April (1922), which became one of her most beloved works. Her novels often featured themes of female autonomy, nature, and the search for personal happiness, resonating with readers across Europe and America. Elizabeth spent her later years living between England, Switzerland, and France, and passed away in Charleston, South Carolina, on February 9, 1941. Her legacy endures through her insightful and often humorous explorations of society and human nature.
