À propos de l?auteur

Ellen Wood, widely known under the name Mrs. Henry Wood, was a prolific English novelist born on January 17, 1814, in England. Her literary career gained widespread popularity in both Britain and abroad, especially after the publication of her most renowned work East Lynne in 1861. Her writing style combined elements of mystery, morality, and domestic life, contributing to her lasting appeal during the Victorian period. She married Henry Wood in 1836, and they had a son named Charles Wood. After her husband's death in 1866, she supported her family through her writing and editorial work. She also managed the magazine Argosy, to which she contributed both fiction and editorial commentary. Though many of her novels are lesser known today, her stories enjoyed international readership during her lifetime and were especially well-received in the United States and Australia. In Australia, her popularity once exceeded that of Charles Dickens. Ellen Wood died in London on February 10, 1887, at the age of 73 and was buried in Highgate Cemetery. Her parents were Thomas Price and Elizabeth Price.
