Bessie Marchant

    Cette auteure prolifique, connue sous le nom de Bessie, fut une écrivaine renommée de romans d'aventure à la fin des époques victorienne et édouardienne. Ses œuvres se déroulaient fréquemment dans des lieux exotiques, bien que l'auteure n'ait jamais quitté l'Angleterre elle-même. Elle excellait dans un genre typiquement associé aux écrivains masculins, gagnant le surnom de 'la Henty féminine'. Contrairement à nombre de ses contemporains, cependant, ses récits mettaient souvent en scène des protagonistes féminines, offrant une perspective distinctive dans la tradition du roman d'aventure.
