VictoriaI Holt, pen name VictoriaI Holt, was born in London in 1906 and died in 1993. 194 1 year, two love novels, Anna's Daughter and Witness of Passion, were published under the pseudonym of Eleanor Burford, which were very popular. Since then, he has written more than 100 novels under the pen names of Elaris Tate, Elbl Ford, Kathleen Key Lowe, Filipa Carr and VictoriaI Holt, whom we are most familiar with. In his 50-year creative career, * * * wrote more than 150 novels, most of which are set in ancient castles. He is one of the most prolific and popular romantic love legends in Britain in the 20th century. The protagonists in her novels are mostly women, including housewives, governesses, nannies and maids. And almost every work is about Gothic castles, which is full of British Queen Victoria's interest and emotional appeal, so she is called a Gothic writer. Her novels are good at setting suspense and mystery, full of tension and delicate psychological description. She wrote a series of Gothic novels under the pseudonym "Victoria". Her books can be simply classified as suspense love novels. Although Qiong Yao's novels have many similarities in content, because of more suspense, she introduced many British ideas and lifestyles, and 18, 19 th century, some British people went to Australia, India and other countries to open up wasteland and even mines, as well as local people's lives, and so on, and felt that the content was much richer. Most of her stories are set in English country estates, and the stories are told by the heroine in the first person. There are three main elements in the plot: 1. Tutor: The heroine works as a tutor in a mansion (in most cases, it may also be other occupations), so she meets the hero and falls in love. 2. Suspicion: On the one hand, the heroine loves the hero deeply, on the other hand, she suspects that the hero is trying to murder her from various signs. 3. Adventure: The main background is Britain, but usually the protagonist will go to India, Germany, Egypt, Australia, South Africa and other countries for some reasons. Of course, books are usually more than that, and sometimes they are mixed with some history. The most obvious is the rival relationship between the heroine and Elizabeth I in the Dead Sea in the Deep Palace, or Mary Anthony in Confessions of the Queen, and some wars in the19th century or early 20th century often mentioned in the book, or like judas kiss and Night in July, the protagonist is a prince of a small German duchy before the establishment of the Prussian Empire. In addition, because Britain rules India, India has many settings. For example, Peacock Feather Fan describes the riots of local residents in the late period when the East India Company ruled India, and describes in detail the geography and humanities of this country and neighboring Ceylon. In addition, she wrote many English historical novels under the pseudonym of Jean Plaidy and a series of family stories under the pseudonym of Philippa Carr. Her books have been introduced to China by many publishing houses (Crown, Small Factory, Hershey Year, Long Bridge, etc.). At present, the common version in China is mainly the "new translation" of the bookstore of the International Village Library. Famous masterpieces series.
