Dinah Maria Craik

    Dinah Maria Craik vestigde zich als een vooraanstaande Engelse romanschrijver en dichter, en steeg naar de voorhoede van de vrouwelijke schrijvers van haar tijd. Ze begon haar literaire reis met werken voor kinderen, en ontwikkelde zich gestaag tot meeslepende verhalen voor volwassen lezers. Craiks schrijven staat bekend om zijn inzichtelijke verkenning van de menselijke natuur en maatschappelijke thema's. Naast haar fictie droeg ze ook poëzie en non-fictie bij, waarmee ze haar veelzijdigheid als literaire stem toonde. Haar blijvende nalatenschap ligt in haar bekwame vertelkunst en scherpe observaties van de wereld.
