Autorenporträt
Mary Elizabeth Braddon, an eminent figure in the realm of Victorian sensation literature, was born on October 4, 1835, in Soho, London. Braddon's foray into literature burgeoned with the serial publication of 'Lady Audley's Secret' (1862), securing her acclaim for her quintessential mastery in the sensation genre—an amalgam of mystery, crime, and domestic drama, designed to titillate the middle-class readership of the era. In her extensive oeuvre comprising over 80 novels, Braddon maintained a prolific output, with 'Wyllard's Weird' (1885) being a notable example. The latter work unravels a complex narrative imbued with the themes of murder, inheritance, and the supernatural, emblematic of her predilection for gothic elements intertwined with domestic realism. Braddon's literary style often grappled with subversive undertones, challenging Victorian societal norms, especially in the portrayal of her female protagonists, who frequently embodied both victimhood and transgression. Despite facing criticism for sensationalism, Braddon achieved significant popularity and financial success in her lifetime, which allowed her to support her family. Her contributions not only entertained but also raised questions about the gender and class issues of her time, leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of British literature. Braddon passed away on February 4, 1915, leaving behind a legacy that continues to pique the interest and scholarly examination of readers and academics alike.
