Über den Autor

Mary Elizabeth Braddon (1835–1915) was a trailblazing figure in the sphere of Victorian literature, a prolific novelist whose career spanned over half a century. She is perhaps best remembered for her seminal work, 'Lady Audley's Secret' (1862), a cornerstone of the sensation novel genre. Braddon's narratives often revolved around themes of crime, mistaken identity, and the plight of women in society, features that etched her name in the annals of literary history and resonate with readers to this day. Braddon authored 80 novels, numerous short stories, essays, and plays, showing a remarkable dexterity in storytelling and a keen insight into the vicissitudes of human nature. Her writing style is noted for its suspenseful plots and astute characterizations, as well as its often subversive commentary on the strict moral codes of Victorian England. The 'British Murder Mysteries - The Mary Elizabeth Braddon Collection' serves as a testament to Braddon's mastery of the mystery and detective genre and underscores her significant contribution to forming the template of the modern thriller. Braddon's work not only entertained a vast audience but also engaged with contemporary debates about gender and social justice, paving the way for future women writers and shedding light on the complexities of Victorian society.
