Autorenporträt
Julia Constance Fletcher (1853-1938), who wrote under the pseudonym George Fleming, was a British author and playwright. Born in Brazil to American parents, Fletcher was the daughter of James Cooley Fletcher and Henriette Malan, a Swiss clergyman's daughter. Her family background was one of intellectual and financial prominence, with her grandfather being the well-known banker Calvin Fletcher. Fletcher was educated at Abbot Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, and graduated in 1867. As an author, she was best known for her works of fiction, particularly Vestigia (1884), which is a novel that explores themes of love, loyalty, and personal conflict. Her other notable works include A Nile Novel, or Kismet (1876), Mirage (1878), and The Head of Medusa (1880). Though she initially wrote under her own name, Fletcher adopted the pen name George Fleming, which was more widely used in her writing career. Fletcher's works, often romantic in nature, reflect her interest in the complexities of human emotions and societal expectations, offering readers an insightful look at the psychological and emotional dilemmas of her characters. Her career spanned several decades, and she remains an interesting, though somewhat under-recognized, figure in the literary history of the late 19th century.
