About the author
Born in London on October 4, 1835, Mary Elizabeth Braddon first tried to make her way as an actress before turning seriously to writing. Her breakthrough came with Lady Audley’s Secret in 1862, a novel that became one of the standout literary sensations of the era and made her one of the most widely read popular novelists of Victorian Britain.
Braddon went on to build an extraordinarily productive career, writing dozens of novels as well as short stories, poems, and articles. Her fiction is often linked with sensation writing, but its lasting appeal also comes from its pace, memorable plots, and keen interest in class, gender, and domestic secrets.
She also worked as a magazine editor and remained active in literary life for decades. By the time of her death in 1915, she had secured a place as one of the major popular authors of the nineteenth century, and her work continues to attract readers interested in suspenseful Victorian fiction.
