Giới thiệu tác giả
E. M. Delafield, born Edmée Elizabeth Monica Dashwood (née de la Pasture) on June 9, 1890, was a prolific English author known for her wryly entertaining depictions of domestic life and social mores. Educated in convent schools in England, Delafield began her writing career with a serious novel, 'Zella Sees Herself,' in 1917. Despite this early start, it was her semi-autobiographical 'Diary of a Provincial Lady' series, beginning in 1930, that brought her widespread acclaim. Her most famous work, 'The Diary of a Provincial Lady,' and its sequels, including 'The Provincial Lady Goes Further,' use a sharp, self-deprecating humor to echo the struggles and satisfactions of middle-class life, cementing Delafield's place in the literary canon of the interwar period. Known for her incisive satire and keen observation of class and gender dynamics, Delafield wrote over 30 books, including novels, short story collections, and plays. Her literary style is characterized by a distinctive voice that combines wit with a keen sense of the social fabric of her times, offering insights into the lives of women negotiating the demands of family, society, and their own aspirations. She continued to write until her death on December 2, 1943, leaving behind a legacy of work that remains beloved for its insightfulness, humor, and resonance with audiences worldwide. Delafield's contributions to literature reflect the enduring appeal of domestic narratives and the exploration of the individual amidst societal expectations.
