Autorenporträt

Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924) was a British-American novelist and playwright, best known for her endearing children's stories. Born in Cheetham, England, Burnett migrated to the United States with her family in 1865, settling in Tennessee. A prolific writer, she began her career with stories in magazines, gaining popularity with adults and children alike. Her literary style combined the elements of realism and romanticism, often focusing on themes of social disparity while underlining the redemptive power of nature and kindness. Burnett's work in children's literature set her apart, with one of her most acclaimed works being 'Little Lord Fauntleroy' (1886), a tale that highlights the transformational impact of an inherited title and wealth on a young American boy and his mother. The novel was a sensation, influencing child fashion and sparking a multitude of stage and film adaptations. Additionally, Burnett's work resonated with progressive ideas on child-rearing and education, emphasizing individuality and spiritedness. Other notable works by Burnett include 'The Secret Garden' (1911) and 'A Little Princess' (1905), both cherished for their exploration of childhood adversity and triumph. Burnett's contributions to literature have immortalized her as a pioneering figure in the genre of children's literature.
