Autorenporträt

Emma Dorothy Eliza Nevitte Southworth (December 26, 1819 June 30, 1899) was an American writer of more than 60 novels in the latter part of the 19th century. She was the most popular American novelist of her day. Southworth was born in Washington, D.C., to Susannah Wailes and Charles LeCompte Nevitte, a Virginia merchant. Her father died when she was five years old, and her mother remarried when she was eight. Southworth attended a school kept by her stepfather, Joshua L. Henshaw. She later recalled her childhood as a lonely one, with her happiest moments spent exploring Maryland's Tidewater region on horseback. During those rides, she acquired an abiding interest in the area's history and folklore. Southworth began writing at a young age, and her first novel, Retribution, was published in 1849. The novel was a success, and Southworth quickly became one of the most popular writers in America.
