Autorenporträt

Metta Victoria Fuller Victor (1831-1885), an accomplished American author, made significant contributions to the landscape of 19th-century literature. Born to an intellectually progressive family in Erie, Pennsylvania, she was a pioneering figure particularly in the development of detective and crime fiction, authoring what some have regarded as the first detective novel in the United States. Her prolific career encompassed various genres, from poetry and children's stories to dime novels under the pseudonym Seeley Regester. 'The Dead Letter,' her notable detective work, precedes her humorous and insightful novel 'The Blunders of a Bashful Man', which showcases her adeptness in social satire and character-driven narrative. Victor's literary style often reflected her keen observation of societal norms and an incisive wit, which allowed her to weave compelling stories that were both engaging and reflective of her times. Despite the challenges of being a female author in a male-dominated sphere, Victor's considerable output-over 100 novels and numerous shorter works-attests to her talent and determination. Her legacy endures through the continued study of her works, which provide valuable insights into the cultural and literary fabric of her era.
