Deze auteur wordt gevierd om zijn kenmerkende artistieke en literaire stijl, waarmee hij erkenning kreeg in zowel satirische illustraties als romans. Zijn werken duiken vaak in de complexiteit van menselijke relaties en de sociale moraal van zijn tijd. Hij gebruikte vakkundig humor en ironie om zijn observaties over te brengen, en creëerde stukken die boeiend en tot nadenken stemmend blijven. Zijn nalatenschap strekt zich ook uit over zijn familie, en beïnvloedde latere generaties in de kunst.

Catherine Sloper is forbidden by her wealthy father to marry the fortune-hunting Morris Townsend. She secretly promises to marry Townsend when he is ready, but then realizes that Townsend is only waiting for her father to change his mind about her inheritance.
First published in 1894, the story of the diva Trilby O'Ferrall and her mentor, Svengali, has entered the mythology of that period alongside Dracula and Sherlock Holmes. Immensely popular for years, the novel led to a hit play, a series of popular films, Trilby products from hats toice-cream, and streets in Florida named after characters in the book. The setting reflects Du Maurier's bohemian years as an art student in Paris before he went to London to make a career in journalism. A celebrated caricaturist for Punch magazine, Du Maurier's drawings for the novel--of which hismost significant are included here--form a large part of its appeal.
