Autoren-Porträt von Emma Orczy
Baroness Emma Orczy, born Emma Magdalena Rosalia Maria Josefa Barbara Orczy in 1865, was a notable Hungarian-born British novelist, playwright, and artist. Orczy's literary craft is often synonymous with her creation of 'The Scarlet Pimpernel,' the first in a series of novels featuring the aristocratic English hero, Sir Percy Blakeney. Orczy's upbringing in an aristocratic family and her subsequent immigration to Britain in 1880, significantly influenced her writing, infusing it with themes of noble bravado and romantic adventure, set often against revolutionary France. She attended the West London School of Art and later the Heatherley School of Fine Art where she further cultivated her creative talents. Not merely confined to 'The Scarlet Pimpernel,' Orczy's prodigious output included numerous detective stories and a myriad of novels which showcased her flair for historical narratives and suspenseful plot construction. Her collected works underscore her versatility and ability to engage a broad audience through the lens of early 20th-century popular fiction. Lady Orczy also gained repute as a playwright; her stage adaptation of 'The Scarlet Pimpernel' opened in 1903 at the New Theatre in London and achieved considerable success. Baroness Orczy's legacy endures through her contributions to the adventure genre and the lasting impact of her vivid characterizations and pioneering female presence in the literary world of her time. She passed away in 1947, leaving behind a rich trove of literature that continues to captivate readers and scholars alike.
