Autorenporträt
Mary Elizabeth Braddon (1835 1915) was an English novelist, best known for her sensationalist novels during the Victorian era. Her 1862 novel Lady Audley's Secret is particularly famous, earning her widespread recognition and cementing her place in literary history. Braddon s works often dealt with themes of hidden secrets, psychological tension, and societal norms, becoming widely popular with Victorian readers. She was born in London and had a varied career, initially acting before turning to writing. Her work often blended romance, mystery, and drama, and she became a key figure in the genre of sensation novels. Braddon s personal life was also colorful; she had a long relationship with her publisher, John Maxwell, whom she married in 1874. She had two children, both of whom also pursued literary careers. Braddon s influence on Victorian fiction was significant, and her works were admired for their compelling plots and ability to explore darker aspects of human nature, often challenging the moral and social codes of her time. She passed away at the age of 79 in Richmond, leaving behind a legacy that continues to be appreciated in both literary and popular contexts.
