Autorenporträt
Mary Elizabeth Braddon, born on October 4, 1835, in London, was a prolific English writer during the Victorian era. Her literary career was both celebrated and controversial, with her works often categorized within the 'sensation' genre, a style known for its focus on scandalous and sensational subject matters. Braddon's novels frequently delve into themes of crime, mystery, and strong female protagonists who challenged the period's social norms. Her most enduring success, 'Lady Audley's Secret' (1862), epitomizes her knack for creating captivating, suspenseful narratives. 'Birds of Prey' (1867), while less renowned, continues in the same vein, showcasing her adeptness at weaving intricate plots with a sensationalist touch. Braddon's writings laid the groundwork for the modern detective and thriller genres, influencing contemporaries and succeeding authors alike. She was a trailblazer for female writers at a time when the literary world was largely dominated by men, producing over eighty novels in her lifetime. Braddon passed away on February 4, 1915, but her contributions to English literature continue to be studied and enjoyed for their vivid characterization and engrossing storytelling (Carnell, 2000; Wolff, 1979).
