關於作者

Mary Jane Holmes (April 5, 1825 – October 6, 1907) was a prolific American author, best known for her popular novels and domestic stories. Born in Brookfield, Massachusetts, Holmes wrote more than 39 novels and numerous short stories, most of which were published between the mid-19th and early 20th centuries. Her work often addressed the lives and struggles of women during her time, and through her writing, she gained a reputation for her vivid storytelling, with a particular knack for realistic dialogue and creating true-to-life characters. Among her many works, 'Tracy Park' stands out as an exemplary piece that captures the nuances of family dynamics and class conflicts. Holmes's literary style has been characterized by its accessibility and emotional engagement, topics that spoke to a substantial audience, particularly middle and upper-middle-class women. Her novels were commercially successful in their time, making her one of the best-selling authors of her day. Despite the lack of lasting critical acclaim within literary circles, Holmes's books were celebrated by readers for their sentimentality and moral overtones. While Holmes's prominence has waned in comparison to some of her contemporaries, her work nonetheless offers meaningful insight into 19th-century American culture, particularly regarding domestic life and gender roles. Her books are now often considered valuable documents for understanding the socio-cultural context of the period in which she wrote (Foster, 1984). Her contribution to American literature, especially as a female author who gained enormous public favor, retains historical significance.
