Autorenporträt
Clara Louise Burnham was born on May 25, 1854, in Newton, Massachusetts, to George Frederick Root and his wife. Raised in a musically and artistically inclined household, she was deeply influenced by her father's work as a composer and educator. Though initially interested in music, Burnham developed a strong literary talent and began writing fiction. Her breakthrough came with the publication of No Gentlemen, which received favorable reception and established her as a novelist. This early success led to a prolific career during which she wrote numerous novels exploring themes of social values, family, romance, and spiritual growth. Her work includes titles such as A Sane Lunatic, Dearly Bought, Next Door, Young Maids and Old, The Mistress of Beech Knoll, and Miss Bagg's Secretary. Burnham's stories often portrayed moral struggles and emotional conflicts in a gentle, accessible style that appealed to a broad readership. Throughout her life, she remained active in literary circles and was recognized for her contributions to American domestic fiction. She died on June 20, 1927, in Bailey Island, Harpswell, Maine, leaving behind a legacy of heartfelt and enduring novels that reflected the values and challenges of her era.
