Autorenporträt
Arabella Jane Duffy, known as Bella Duffy, was born in Ireland in 1849. She spent much of her life in Florence, Italy, where she became a well-known translator and writer. Duffy formed a lifelong friendship with Vernon Lee in 1878, and Lee even dedicated one of her books to Duffy. Eugene Lee-Hamilton also honored Duffy in the same way. While she wrote a work of fiction, Bella Duffy was primarily recognized for her nonfiction and translation contributions. Throughout her time in Italy, she was passionate about preserving ancient buildings and fought to protect Italy's cultural heritage. Duffy's life ended in London in 1926 at the age of 76 or 77. Her work, particularly in translation, left a notable mark, and she remains remembered for her contributions to literature and her advocacy for Italy's architectural preservation. Her legacy continues to be linked to her intellectual efforts and her personal dedication to the arts.
