Autor

Molly Elliot Seawell was born on October 23, 1860, in Gloucester, Virginia, and died on November 15, 1916, in Washington, D.C., at the age of 56. She came from a prominent Virginia family and was the niece of U.S. President John Tyler. Her father, John Tyler Seawell, played a formative role in her intellectual development. She was raised on a plantation and received a nontraditional education, famously being given the freedom to explore a personal library filled with the finest works of 18th-century literature. This early immersion in classical reading shaped her style and literary voice. Seawell became known for her historical and fictional works that often focused on honor, patriotism, and personal integrity, qualities drawn from her Southern upbringing and interest in national identity. Though her works were accessible and popular in her time, they often carried deeper reflections on duty, class, and gender roles. She gained recognition for novels like Maid Marian and Other Stories and her biographies and juvenile fiction. Throughout her career, she maintained a strong presence in American letters, contributing to the literary landscape of the late 19th and early 20th centuries with both charm and intellect.
