Emily Fox-Seton: Victorian Romance Novel
Autor Frances Hodgson Burnetten Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 dec 2020
Frances Eliza Hodgson was born in Cheetham, Manchester, England. After her father died in 1852, the family fell on straitened circumstances and in 1865 emigrated to the United States, settling in New Market, Tennessee. There, Frances began writing to help earn money for the family, publishing stories in magazines from the age of 19. In 1870, her mother died, and in 1872 she married Swan Burnett, who became a medical doctor. The Burnetts lived for two years in Paris, where their two sons were born, before returning to the United States to live in Washington, D.C. Burnett then began to write novels, the first of which (That Lass o' Lowrie's), was published to good reviews. Little Lord Fauntleroy was published in 1886 and made her a popular writer of children's fiction, although her romantic adult novels written in the 1890s were also popular. She wrote and helped to produce stage versions of Little Lord Fauntleroy and A Little Princess.
Beginning in the 1880s, Burnett began to travel to England frequently and in the 1890s bought a home there, where she wrote The Secret Garden. Her elder son, Lionel, died of tuberculosis in 1890, which caused a relapse of the depression she had struggled with for much of her life. She divorced Swan Burnett in 1898, married Stephen Townsend in 1900, and divorced him in 1902. A few years later she settled in Nassau County, New York, where she died in 1924 and is buried in Roslyn Cemetery.
In 1936, a memorial sculpture by Bessie Potter Vonnoh was erected in her honour in Central Park's Conservatory Garden. The statue depicts her two famous Secret Garden characters, Mary and Dickon. (wikipedia.org)

Notă biografică
Frances Hodgson Burnett (24 November 1849-29 October 1924) was a British-American novelist and playwright. She was known for her prolific career, which spanned over four decades and included more than 40 novels and plays. Burnett was born in Cheetham, Manchester, England, but moved to the United States in 1865 with her family, where she began writing to support them financially. Her first published work, a story called 'Miss Carruthers' Engagement', appeared in Godey's Lady's Book in 1868. Burnett's most famous works include Little Lord Fauntleroy, A Little Princess and The Secret Garden, all of which have been loved by generations of children for their engaging characters and timeless messages. The Secret Garden, published in 1911, was inspired by Burnett's own love of gardening and her experiences living in both England and the United States. The book has been adapted into numerous stage plays, films and television shows over the years and remains a classic of children's literature. Burnett's legacy as an author continues to inspire readers of all ages to this day.
