Amelia B. Edwards

Amelia Anne Blanford Edwards nació en Londres en 1831, hija de un militar retirado convertido en banquero. Educada por su madre, a los siete años publicó su primer poema en una revista, y a los doce su primer cuento. En la década de 1860 fue asidua colaboradora de All The Year Round, la revista de Charles Dickens, a quien admiraba profundamente. Como la mayoría de sus cuentos de fantasmas, que ella misma ilustraba, se publicaron anónimamente, a veces se llegaban a confundir con los del propio Dickens debido a la similitud estilística entre ambos. Edwards participó asimismo abiertamente en la causa por el sufragio femenino. Viajó a Egipto a finales de 1873 y, escandalizada por la profanación y destrucción de obras de arte, creó una fundación, la Egypt Exploration Society, para preservar los monumentos arqueológicos. Edwards es una figura clave de la época victoriana, no solo por su obra literaria –cuentos de fantasmas y relatos de viajes– sino también por haber sido una de las mayores historiadoras y arqueólogas de la época. Escribió novelas muy populares como Barbara's History (1864) y Lord Brackenbury (1880), y el libro de viajes por Egipto A Thousand Miles up the Nile (1877). Murió en 1892 en Weston-super-Mare, una ciudad en la costa de Somerset.

Anatole France

Anatole France, né en 1844 à Paris, est l'un des écrivains les plus influents de la littérature française du XIXe siècle.

France a débuté sa carrière en tant que critique littéraire avant de se consacrer pleinement à l'écriture. Il est célèbre pour ses romans tels que "Thaïs", "L'Île des Pingouins", et bien sûr "Les Autels de la peur". Son style se caractérise par une prose élégante et un sens aigu de l'ironie, souvent utilisé pour critiquer les institutions sociales et politiques de son époque. Lauréat du prix Nobel de littérature en 1921, Anatole France a laissé un héritage littéraire qui continue de fasciner par sa profondeur et sa pertinence. Il est décédé en 1924, mais ses oeuvres demeurent des classiques intemporels, explorant les complexités de l'âme humaine et les défis de la société moderne.

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.

Avocat de formation, Scott se tourne vers la littérature et devient l'un des auteurs les plus populaires et influents de son époque. Sa carrière littéraire débute par la poésie, avec des oeuvres comme « The Lay of the Last Minstrel » (1805). Cependant, c'est avec ses romans historiques qu'il acquiert une renommée internationale. « Waverley » (1814), son premier roman, inaugure une série d'oeuvres qui révolutionnent le genre, mêlant habilement histoire et fiction. Scott est célèbre pour sa capacité à recréer des époques passées avec une vivacité et une précision remarquables. Ses romans, tels que « Ivanhoe » (1819) et « Quentin Durward » (1823), ont profondément influencé la perception populaire de l'histoire, en particulier celle du Moyen Âge. L'écriture de Scott se caractérise par un style riche et descriptif, des intrigues complexes et des personnages mémorables. Il excelle dans la représentation des conflits sociaux et politiques de différentes périodes historiques. Malgré des revers financiers en fin de vie, Scott laisse un héritage littéraire considérable. Son influence s'étend bien au-delà de la littérature anglophone, inspirant de nombreux auteurs à travers l'Europe et contribuant à l'essor du romantisme.
