Autorenporträt
Charlotte Eliza Lawson Cowan Riddell, better known as J. H. Mrs. Riddell, was a preeminent author of the Victorian era, renowned for her pioneering role in the development of the ghost story genre. Born on September 30, 1832, in Carrickfergus, County Antrim, Ireland, she moved to London where she embarked on a literary career that challenged the norms of her time, particularly the expectation for women authors to use male pseudonyms. Instead of adopting a male pseudonym, Riddell published under her own name or as 'Mrs. Riddell,' projecting her identity into the literary sphere with confidence. Her oeuvre is extensive, with around 56 novels and numerous short stories to her credit. Among her works, 'The Uninhabited House' stands out as a prime example of her mastery in creating eerie atmospheres and supernatural narratives, which made significant contributions to the canon of English ghost literature (Showalter, 1992). Riddell's writing style often reflected her personal experience with financial difficulties and her husband's mental illness, weaving themes of fiscal anxiety within her tales of the supernatural. Her legacy as a noteworthy woman writer in the Victorian age is solidified by her creation of sophisticated ghost stories that explore the intersection of the otherworldly and the mundane, as well as her role as an editor and co-proprietor of the 'St. James's Magazine' (Riddell, 1977). J. H. Mrs. Riddell passed away on September 24, 1906, but her contributions to the literary world continue to be recognized by scholars and readers alike.
