Mary Elizabeth Braddon
Mary Elizabeth Braddon was born in 1837 in London. Her parents separated when Mary was young, and her brother later moved to Tasmania. Braddon penned her debut novel in 1860, deciding to try her hand at fiction in order to support herself and her mother. The serial publication of her fourth novel, Lady Audley’s Secret, in 1862, was a huge success, and Braddon became wealthy. She lived with the publisher John Maxwell while he was still married to his wife. Though Maxwell publicly claimed they were legally married, he would only marry Mary in 1874 after the death of his first wife. Braddon wrote over 80 novels and died in 1915.
