Autorenporträt
Violet Hunt was a fierce literary force and unapologetic trailblazer of the early 20th century-a novelist, feminist, salon host, and muse who defied convention at every turn. Born into an artistic family and raised among the Pre-Raphaelites, she carved out a bold career writing ghost stories, feminist fiction, and scandal-laced autobiographical novels that blurred the line between life and literature. Her legendary London salons attracted literary giants like Henry James and Ezra Pound, while her fiery love affairs with H.G. Wells and Ford Madox Ford fed the gossip pages-and inspired characters in some of the century's most iconic novels. Founder of the Women Writers' Suffrage League and early member of PEN, Hunt wasn't just ahead of her time-she helped shape it.
