Produktbeschreibung
Elinor Glyn's novel 'Man and Maid' delves into the intricacies of social class, desire, and scandalous relationships in early 20th century British society. Written in a captivating and dramatic style, Glyn's book explores the forbidden romance between a wealthy aristocrat and a lower-class maid, highlighting the stark contrast in their social statuses and the societal norms that try to keep them apart. Glyn's use of vivid descriptions and emotional dialogues immerses the reader into the lavish world of the upper class, while also shedding light on the struggles of the working class during that time period. 'Man and Maid' is a compelling read that offers a glimpse into the complexities of love and social boundaries in a society obsessed with appearances and reputation. Elinor Glyn, known for her scandalous and provocative stories, drew inspiration from her own experiences in high society to craft this tale of forbidden love and societal expectations. Her bold and daring writing style challenged conventional norms and pushed the boundaries of what was deemed acceptable in literature at the time. I highly recommend 'Man and Maid' to those who enjoy historical romance novels with a touch of scandal and social critique, as it offers a thought-provoking exploration of love and class struggles in early 20th century England.

Autorenporträt
Elinor Glyn was a British novelist and scriptwriter who specialized in love fiction, which was deemed scandalous at the time, yet her works are very moderate by contemporary standards. She popularized the concept of the it-girl and had a huge impact on early 20th-century popular culture, maybe even on the careers of prominent Hollywood stars like Rudolph Valentino, Gloria Swanson, and, most notably, Clara Bow. Elinor Sutherland was born on October 17, 1864, in St Helier, Jersey, in the Channel Islands. She was the younger daughter of Douglas Sutherland (1838-1865), a civil engineer of Scottish heritage, and his wife Elinor Saunders (1841-1937), from an Anglo-French family who had established in Canada. Her father was claimed to be linked to the Lords of Duffus. Her father died when she was two months old, and her mother went to the parental home in Guelph, Upper Canada, British North America (now Ontario), with her two daughters. Elinor was taught here by her grandmother, Lucy Anne Saunders, the daughter of Sir Richard Willcocks, an early Irish police magistrate who assisted in the suppression of the Emmet Rising in 1803.
