À propos de l'auteur

Mary Elizabeth Braddon (1835-1915) was a pioneering British novelist whose sensationalist fiction captivated Victorian readers and left an indelible mark on the literary landscape. Born in London, Braddon initially pursued a career in acting, which provided her with a keen understanding of drama and intrigue—elements that would become hallmarks of her writing.Braddon's breakthrough came with the publication of "Lady Audley's Secret" in 1862, a novel that scandalized and fascinated the public with its themes of bigamy, madness, and murder. This work cemented her reputation as the "Queen of Sensation," a genre characterized by its thrilling plots and exploration of taboo subjects. Her ability to weave suspenseful narratives while critiquing societal norms made her a favorite among readers and a subject of controversy among critics.Despite facing criticism for her sensationalist style, Braddon was a prolific writer, producing over 80 novels and numerous short stories. Her works often featured strong, complex female protagonists who defied Victorian gender norms, challenging contemporary views on women's roles in society. Braddon's influence extended beyond her lifetime, impacting writers such as Wilkie Collins and Mary Shelley.Braddon's personal life was as unconventional as her fiction. She lived openly with her publisher, John Maxwell, for years before they could marry, due to his estranged wife's mental illness. This relationship, along with her bold literary themes, positioned Braddon as a progressive figure in a conservative era.Today, Mary Elizabeth Braddon is celebrated not only for her contributions to the sensation novel but also for her daring exploration of themes that continue to resonate with modern audiences. Her work remains a testament to the power of fiction to challenge societal norms and captivate the imagination.
