Ellen Marriage était une traductrice anglaise du français, renommée pour ses rendus méticuleux des romans de Balzac. Elle se consacra à garantir la lisibilité et l'exactitude, un effort inhabituel pour les traducteurs de son époque. Son travail sur le cycle de Balzac "La Comédie humaine", bien que modestement rémunéré, fut célébré pour sa précision, y compris ses voyages en France pour vérifier les détails et le vocabulaire spécialisé. Bien que cette vaste entreprise ait été son unique projet à grande échelle, ses traductions, souvent publiées dans des éditions populaires, sont restées imprimées pendant des décennies, démontrant son engagement remarquable envers la fidélité littéraire.
Balzac's work is a detailed exploration of post-Napoleonic French society, showcasing his keen observational skills and commitment to realism. His characters, rich in complexity and moral ambiguity, reflect the intricacies of human nature, while even inanimate objects, particularly in Paris, are given life and personality. This intricate portrayal of life has left a profound impact on numerous literary figures and filmmakers, establishing Balzac as a pivotal influence in European literature.
