Autorenporträt
Elinor Glyn (1864-1943) was a British novelist and scriptwriter who gained notoriety in the early 20th century for her romantic fiction, which often explored themes of female sexuality and empowerment. Born Elinor Sutherland on October 17, 1864, in Saint Helier, Jersey, she was renowned for her vivid prose and her ability to capture the luxurious excesses of the aristocracy. Her breakout novel, 'The Visits of Elizabeth' (1900), offered readers a unique epistolary narrative that keenly observed the manners and mores of upper-crust society through the fresh, uninhibited eyes of its youthful protagonist. Glyn's literary style was marked by lush descriptions, blending emotional introspection with social commentary, a trait that elevated her work in the realm of early feminist literature. Her novels were not only immensely popular but also controversial, challenging the sexual norms of her time. Glyn's opus includes a substantial body of work comprising novels, short stories, and later in her career, screenplays for the burgeoning Hollywood film industry. She was instrumental in defining the concept of the 'It girl' with her novel 'It' (1927), further influencing the lexicon of flapper-era America. Glyn passed away on September 23, 1943, but her legacy endures as a pioneer who opened new vistas for female expression in modern fiction.
