De August Nemo

Mary Shelley

Mary Shelley (1797–1851) was born to well-known parents: author and feminist Mary Wollstonecraft and philosopher William Godwin. When Mary was sixteen, she met the young poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, a devotee of her father’s teachings. In 1816, the two of them travelled to Geneva to stay with Lord Byron. One evening, while they shared ghost stories, Lord Byron proposed that they each write a ghost story of their own. Frankenstein was Mary’s contribution. Other works of hers include Mathilda, The Last Man, and The Fortunes of Perkin Warbeck.

D. H. Lawrence

D. H. Lawrence, geboren 1885 in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, gilt als der erste britische Schriftsteller von Rang, der aus einer Arbeiterfamilie stammte. Er studierte Pädagogik und arbeitete als Lehrer, musste allerdings 1912 aufgrund seiner Tuberkulose-Erkrankung den Schuldienst quittieren und widmete sich fortan ganz dem Schreiben. Weltberühmt machte ihn sein kontroverser und lange Zeit verbotener Roman Lady Chatterley’s Lover, dem er seinen Ruf als Autor freizügiger erotischer Literatur verdankt. Lawrence und seine Frau führten ein rastloses Leben, waren ständig auf Reisen, in Europa, Australien, Südamerika und den USA, lebten in England, Italien und Frankreich, Sri Lanka und schließlich auf einer Ranch in New Mexico. Als sich sein Gesundheitszustand dramatisch verschlechterte, kehrte das Paar nach Europa zurück. D. H. Lawrence starb 1930 im Alter von nur 44 Jahren in Frankreich.

"I donno," said Mary, thoughtfully, "but what, when folks stop chasing after Christmas and driving it before them, Christmas may turn around and come to find them.""Why," said Simeon, "everybody in town's talking that they ain't going to give anybody anything for Christmas. Some means it and some don't. Some'll do it and some'll back out. But the churches has decided to omit Christmas exercises altogether this year. Some thought to have speaking pieces, but everybody concluded if they had exercises without oranges and candy the children'd go home disappointed, so they've left the whole thing slide" - [Christmas, Zona Gale]

Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson

Bjørnstjerne Martinius Bjørnson (* 8. Dezember 1832 in Kvikne (fylke Hedmark); Gestorben 26. April 1910 in Paris) war ein norwegischer Dichter, Literaturnobelpreisträger und Politiker. Bjørnson verfasste unter anderem die norwegische Nationalhymne Ja, vi elsker dette landet und war der Begründer des Riksmålsforbundet. Der Dichter Bjørnson wurde auf dem Hof Bjørgan nahe Kvikne geboren, einem abgelegenen Dorf in der Landschaft Østerdalen, wo sein Vater Peder Bjørnson als Pfarrer tätig war. 1837 wurde der Vater in die Pfarrei Nesset versetzt, unweit von Molde in der Provinz Møre og Romsdal. Bjørnson besuchte die Schule in Molde und 1850 bis 1852 ein privates Gymnasium in Christiania (heute Oslo). Nachdem er sein Studium abgebrochen hatte, arbeitete er einige Zeit als Journalist. In dieser Zeit lernte er auch Henrik Ibsen kennen. Haupthaus in Aulestad Zwischen 1857 und 1859 wirkte er als Leiter des Theaters in Bergen. 1859 trat er in die Redaktion von Aftenbladet ein. Aber wegen des Widerstandes in der öffentlichen Meinung musste er die Redaktion wieder verlassen. Ein Jahr später bereiste er für drei Jahre Deutschland und Italien. Nach seiner Rückkehr 1865 bekam er eine Anstellung am königlichen Theater in Christiania. Dieses Amt bekleidete er bis 1867 und später nochmals zwei Jahre, zwischen 1870 und 1872. Danach lebte er bis 1875 wieder in Deutschland und Italien. Vor seiner Abreise erwarb er 1874 das Anwesen Aulestad. Dieser Landsitz entwickelte sich mit der Zeit zu einem geistigen Zentrum Norwegens. Von 1880 bis 1881 bereiste Bjørnson die USA. Nach seiner Rückkehr 1882 lebte er bis 1887 in Paris. Auch als er sich auf sein Gut zurückzog, blieb er das geistige Zentrum Norwegens. Beeinflusst durch die französischen Realisten, aber auch durch Georg Brandes, fand Bjørnson seinen Realismus und wurde zum Erneuerer der norwegischen Literatur. 1903 erhielt Bjørnson als erster Skandinavier den Nobelpreis für Literatur "als ein Beweis der Anerkennung für seine edle, großartige und vielseitige Wirksamkeit als Dichter, die immer durch einmalige Frische der Eingebung und durch eine seltene Seelenreinheit ausgezeichnet war"

Lord Dunsany

George Gissing

George Gissing nació en Wakefield en 1857, hijo de un farmacéutico. Huérfano de padre a los trece años, y pese a los apuros económicos de la familia, consiguió acceder al Owens College de Manchester. Truncó, sin embargo, una prometedora carrera aca-démica cuando en 1876 fue despedido por haber robado dinero para ayudar a empezar una nueva vida a una prostituta con la que emigró a Estados Unidos y con la que aca-baría casándose. Un año después volvería a Inglaterra, donde trabajaría como tutor. Sus comienzos en la literatura fueron muy duros y publicó una serie de novelas sin éxito: workers in the Dawn (1880), The Unclassed (1884), Demos (1886), y The Nether World (1889). Gissing recoge la tradición de las condition of England novels (Gaskell, Di-ckens), de contenido social y propósito reformista, aunque sin sentimentalismos ni concesiones, y en algún sentido se ha dicho de él que es el Zola inglés. Con New Grub Street (1891), la más famosa de sus obras, una negra visión de la bohemia londinense, obtuvo finalmente reconocimiento y prestigio. A ella siguieron, entre otras, Denzil Quarrier (1892), Born in Exile (1892), Mujeres sin pareja (1893), sobre la cuestión del feminismo, In the year of jubilee (1894) y The Crown of Life (1899). Gissing murió en San Juan de Luz en 1903.

Edith Nesbit

Surnommée la « Reine du roman jeunesse », Edith Nesbit (également connue sous le nom de E. Nesbit), était une écrivaine britannique du début du xxe siècle qui révolutionna la littérature. Elle est souvent citée comme étant la première autrice jeunesse moderne, ainsi que celle qui a inventé le roman fantastique moderne. Outre sa carrière littéraire, E. Nesbit était une militante socialiste engagée : elle fut la co-fondatrice du Fabian Society, le précurseur du Parti travailliste. Ses convictions socialistes se reflétaient souvent dans ses histoires, où elle abordait des thèmes tels que l’égalité, la justice sociale et l’empathie envers les classes défavorisées. Nesbit a influencé les plus grands auteurs pour la jeunesse de nos jours, tels que J.K. Rowling, C.S. Lewis et J.R.R. Tolkien, et ses romans sont des best-sellers mondiaux ; pourtant, Nesbit demeure méconnue en France.

Arthur Morrison (1863–1945) was an English novelist and journalist best known for his depictions of the British working class in the slums of London’s East End.

Né dans le Surrey, en 1867, John Galsworthy est issu d'une famille d'hommes de loi et fut lui-même avocat. Peu attiré par sa profession, il publie ses premiers romans en 1898, sous pseudonyme. Mais sa véritable carrière littéraire débute en 1904 avec Les Pharisiens de l'île, où il s'attaque aux classes possédantes. Une même approche critique des notables caractérise son chef-d'œuvre, La Dynastie des Forsyte. Publiée de 1906 à 1928, elle constitue une vaste fresque, de l'ère victorienne à l'entre-deux-guerres. Il meurt en 1933, à Hampstead, un an après avoir reçu le prix Nobel de Littérature.
