Autorenporträt
Eleanor Hodgman Porter (December 19, 1868 - May 21, 1920) was an American novelist renowned for her engaging tales that intertwine an optimistic philosophy with endearing characters. Born in Littleton, New Hampshire, she demonstrated an early talent for the arts, leaning toward both music and writing. Before her foray into novel writing, Porter penned short stories for various publications. Her literary career reached its zenith with the creation of 'Pollyanna', a novel centered around an irrepressibly optimistic orphan girl whose eponymous 'Glad Game' has influenced generations and is seen as a cultural touchstone. The success of 'Pollyanna', published in 1913, not only led to a sequel, 'Pollyanna Grows Up', but also fostered a literary sub-genre of books with cheerfully intrepid heroines designed to uplift and inspire readers. Porter's narrative style is characterized by a blend of sentimentality, moralistic undertones, and an unwavering faith in the essential goodness of human nature. Her works, which total more than twenty novels, continue to be revisited and studied for their early 20th century perspectives on joy, resilience, and the American spirit. Porter passed away in Cambridge, Massachusetts, but her legacy, particularly the 'glad' philosophy propounded in 'Pollyanna', persists in popular culture and literary analysis alike.
