Autorenporträt
Emma Dorothy Eliza Nevitte Southworth (1819–1899) was an American novelist of the Victorian era. Born in Washington, D.C., Southworth was one of the most popular writers of her time, predating contemporaries such as Louisa May Alcott. Starting her career as a schoolteacher, she turned to writing to support her children after the demise of her marriage. Her work often revolves around themes of marriage, divorce, and women's struggles for independence, reflecting her personal challenges and observations in a society governed by patriarchal norms. Southworth's literary style carries a strong emotional current, with intricate plotlines and a gothic touch. She published over 60 novels throughout her prolific career, including 'Tried for Her Life' (1871), which is a testament to her ability to captivate readers with tales of mystery and passion. Her novels, which were serialized in popular periodicals like Robert Bonner's New York Ledger, contributed to the era's burgeoning appetite for sensational fiction. Despite her success during her lifetime, Southworth's literary legacy has been somewhat overshadowed in the annals of American literature. However, scholars today recognize her contributions to women's literature and her role in shaping the domestic fiction genre of the 19th century. Her stories often provided a critical commentary on the social and legal injustices faced by women, thereby asserting her stature as a pioneering figure in feminist literature.
