Louisa May Alcott
Louisa May Alcott was a 19th-century American novelist best known for her novel, Little Women, as well as its well-loved sequels, Little Men and Jo's Boys. Little Women is renowned as one of the very first classics of children’s literature, and remains a popular masterpiece today.
Virginia Woolf
Virginia Woolf was an English novelist, essayist, short story writer, publisher, critic and member of the Bloomsbury group, as well as being regarded as both a hugely significant modernist and feminist figure. Her most famous works include Mrs Dalloway, To the Lighthouse and A Room of One’s Own.
Stephen Crane
Quatorzième enfant d'un pasteur méthodiste,
Stephen Crane est né en 1871 à Newark. Il publie ses premières nouvelles à 20 ans – il en écrira plus de deux cents. Jeune reporter, il explore les bas-fonds de New York et en tire un court roman,
Maggie, fille des rues (1893). Mais c'est
L'Insigne rouge du courage (1895), récit antihéroïque d'un épisode de la guerre civile, qui fait sa brusque renommée. En 1899 paraissent son second recueil de poésie,
War is Kind, ainsi que son dernier roman,
Active Service, inspiré de son activité de correspondant pendant les guerres gréco-turque (1897) et hispano-américaine (1898). Il meurt de tuberculose avant trente ans, en 1900, dans un sanatorium allemand. Henry James le tenait pour " un immense génie " et H. G. Wells le qualifiera en 1915 de " meilleur écrivain de langue anglaise des cinquante dernières années ".
Henry James
Henry James (1843–1916) was an American writer, highly regarded as one of the key proponents of literary realism, as well as for his contributions to literary criticism. His writing centres on the clash and overlap between Europe and America, and The Portrait of a Lady is regarded as his most notable work.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Né Arthur Doyle, adopta le patronyme "Conan Doyle", Conan étant le nom de son parrain.
Joseph Conrad
Polish-born Joseph Conrad is regarded as a highly influential author, and his works are seen as a precursor to modernist literature. His often tragic insight into the human condition in novels such as Heart of Darkness and The Secret Agent is unrivalled by his contemporaries.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Robert Lewis Balfour Stevenson was born on 13 November 1850, changing his second name to ‘Louis’ at the age of eighteen. He has always been loved and admired by countless readers and critics for ‘the excitement, the fierce joy, the delight in strangeness, the pleasure in deep and dark adventures’ found in his classic stories and, without doubt, he created some of the most horribly unforgettable characters in literature and, above all, Mr. Edward Hyde.
