Lanoe Falconer

    Mary Elizabeth Hawker, writing under the pseudonym Lanoe Falconer, was an author whose early writings appeared in magazines and newspapers. Her literary debut arrived in 1890 with a novel that had been previously rejected by many publishers. This mystery story, set in an English country house, features a heroine connected with Russian nihilists and garnered critical acclaim, even praise from prominent figures, leading to extensive sales and translations into several languages. Her subsequent works included ghost stories and novellas. Hawker's output was shaped by personal loss and health struggles.

      Cecilia de Noël
    • Čtyři povídky anglicky píšících ženských autorek z 19. a první poloviny 20. století, spojené výskytem nadpřirozeného prvku. Tím, že těžiště všech leží spíše v psychologii postav než v křiklavé hrůze, nám možná připomenou podobně pojatý výbor z amerických autorů Komu se to dostane do rukou (Odeon, 1990). Ze známých spisovatelek je zde zastoupena např. Angličanka George Eliotová novelou o muži stíhaném nedobrovolným odposlechem myšlenek druhých lidí a Američanka Edith Whartonová povídkou, kde se nadpřirozený prvek projeví až dodatečně, čímž se zpětně změní atmosféra celého příběhu. Zato Violet Huntovou nebo Lanoe Falcnerovou zná dnes už jen pár odborníků, a přece nacházíme v jejich fantastických povídkách přesvědčivost a podmanivost, a paradoxně i věcnost, jakou bychom těžko hledali v naší literatuře přelomu devatenáctého a dvacátého století.
