Tungkol sa may-akda
Baroness Emma Orczy, born Emma Magdalena Rosalia Maria Josefa Barbara Orczy on September 23, 1865, in Tarnaörs, Hungary, was a notable British novelist and playwright. Orczy's family was ennobled by the Habsburg dynasty, providing her the title 'Baroness.' The family moved to London in 1880, where Orczy attended the West London School of Art and later the Heatherley School of Fine Art. Primarily recognized for her classic adventure tale 'The Scarlet Pimpernel' (1905), Orczy created a distinct mark in the literary world with her pioneering use of the 'masked hero' trope that influenced generations of adventure and superhero narratives. Aside from her notable Pimpernel series, Orczy also explored her personal experiences and reflections on life in her autobiographical collection, 'Links in the Chain of Life' (1947). Her literary style is characterized by a blend of romanticized adventure, intricate plotting, and a vivid portrayal of aristocratic life in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Despite the themes of heroism and romance, her works often subtly reflect the social and class systems of her time, marrying her keen observations with swashbuckling narratives. Baroness Orczy passed away on November 12, 1947, but her works continue to captivate readers and influence popular culture, affirming her esteemed place in British literature.
