Autor

Mary Augusta Ward, née Arnold (1851–1920), better known by her married name as Mrs. Humphry Ward, was an eminent British novelist of the late Victorian and early Edwardian era. Renowned primarily for her novels exploring social and political themes, Ward is perhaps best remembered for her book 'Robert Elsmere' (1888), which grappled with the crisis of faith during the period. Her narrative style is characterized by a realistic and empathetic portrayal of her characters, with particular emphasis on the moral dilemmas they face. With regard to her contribution to wartime literature, 'The War on All Fronts: England's Effort' (1917) stands out for providing a comprehensive account of England's involvement and commitment during World War I. The work captures the zeitgeist of the period, revealing the unwavering spirit and hardship of the British people. Ward was also an active social worker and played a significant role in educational reforms. Despite her opposition to women's suffrage, which has since been a point of critique by modern feminist scholars, her literary works and her social engagement have left an indelible mark on British history and literature. Additionally, her association with the anti-suffrage league did not undermine her commitment to improving education for the underprivileged—a cause she pursued fervently until her death.
