Écrivain anglais, David Herbert Lawrence, auteur du célèbre roman L'Amant de lady Chatterley (1928), est né le 11 septembre 1885 à Eastwood (Nottinghamshire, Royaume-Uni). Sa réputation de chantre de la sexualité et le parfum de scandale qui s'attache à son nom ont un peu occulté la richesse d'une oeuvre qui inclut romans, nouvelles, poésie, essais, récits de voyage, théâtre, peinture, sans compter des milliers de lettres et un manuel d'histoire. Il meurt le 2 mars 1930 à Vence (Alpes-Maritimes).
William Makepeace Thackeray was born in Calcutta in 1811. He was sent to England in 1817 and was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge. Following a period of gambling, unsuccessful investments and a brief career as a
lawyer, he turned to writing and drawing. In 1836 he married Isabella Shawe; following the birth of their second daughter, her mental health deteriorated and she had to be permanently supervised by a private nurse. Thackeray's first novel, Catherine, was published in 1839-40. Following the success of Vanity Fair (1847-8) he was able to devote himself to fiction, and his other notable works include Pendennis (1849), The History of Henry Esmond (1852) and The Newcomes (1855). He also edited the commercially successful Cornhill Magazine, which published writers such as Tennyson, George Eliot and Harriet Beecher Stowe. Thackeray
died suddenly on Christmas Eve, 1863.
Lucy Maude Montgomery (1874-1942) was born on Prince Edward Island, Canada, the setting for Anne of Green Gables. She left to attend college, but returned to Prince Edward Island to teach. In 1911, she married the Reverend Ewan MacDonald. Anne of Green Gables, the first in a series of "Anne" books by Montgomery, was published in 1908 to immediate success and continues to be a perennial favorite.
