Biografisk notat
Elizabeth Inchbald (1753-1821) was an English novelist, actress, and playwright.In scenes charged with understated erotic tension, A Simple Story - by groundbreaking playwright and novelist Elizabeth Inchbald - intertwines the tales of the flirtatious Miss Milner who falls in love with her guardian, a Roman Catholic priest and aristocrat, and of their daughter Matilda who, banished from her father's sight, craves his love.
In her use of dramatic methods-expressive gestures, delayed revelations and economical dialogues-to present these two versions of the same power-struggle between an older father-lover figure and a young girl, Inchbald achieves a psychological intensity and subtlety of characterization rarely found in other late eighteenth-century novelists.
Les mer
Elizabeth Inchbald was concerned with women's education. In this story, Inchbald's purpose was to show the value of "a proper education". She describes the disastrous marriage of Miss Milner, an empty-headed flirt, to Lord Elmwood and the effects of her behaviour on their daughter Matilda.
