芭芭拉•泰萊•布拉福,小說家,1933-2024

The bestselling writer championed women defining themselves on their own terms
這位暢銷書作家倡導女性按照自己的方式定義自己。
Barbara Taylor Bradford was often described as a writer of ‘romances’, but the true themes of her work are human agency and self-determination

Barbara Taylor Bradford was a giant of postwar British literature. Her 40 novels sold more than 91mn copies and she transformed the landscape of fiction, writing books about women who — like their author — set themselves goals which they achieved and surpassed. Her first novel, A Woman of Substance, was published in 1979 when she was 46 years old: like Toni Morrison, Annie Proulx, Penelope Fitzgerald and many other eminent women writers, success came after 40.

芭芭拉•泰萊•布拉福是戰後英國文學的巨匠。她的40部小說銷量超過9100萬冊,她通過撰寫關於女性的書籍改變了小說的格局,這些女性——如同作者本人——設定了目標並實現甚至超越了這些目標。她的第一部小說《一個真正的女人》(A Woman of Substance)於1979年出版,當時她46歲:如同托妮•莫里森(Toni Morrison)、安妮•普露(Annie Proulx)、佩內洛普•菲茨傑拉德(Penelope Fitzgerald)和許多其他傑出的女性作家一樣,成功是在40歲之後到來的。
