作者简介
Elizabeth von Arnim (1866–1941), born Mary Annette Beauchamp, was an esteemed Australian-born British novelist who gained literary prominence in the early 20th century. By marrying Count Henning August von Arnim-Schlagenthin, she became part of the German aristocracy, which influenced her pen name 'Elizabeth' and provided rich material for her works. Her writing is distinguished by its wit, irony, and keen observations of society and character, often focusing on the themes of love and marriage, as well as the positions of women within society. Elizabeth von Arnim's novel 'Mr. Skeffington' (1940), published toward the end of her career, is one of her most recognized works. This novel, set between the wars, explores themes of aging, beauty, and the shifting social roles of women, marked by von Arnim's characteristic blend of sharp social commentary and humor. It was later adapted into a successful film in 1944 starring Bette Davis. Von Arnim's literary style, which combines a light-hearted narrative with incisive social critique, continues to capture readers and has secured her place in the canon of early modern feminist writers.
