FRANCES HODGSON BURNETT English author (1849-1924) Biography: Frances Hodgson Burnett was born in Manchester in 1849. Some years after his farther's death, all her family moved to United States. Her reputation as a novelist was made with her story of Lancashire life, That Lass o' Lowrie's (published in 1877), Burnett's first novel, which had been serialized in Scribner 's. The book already showed her talent to portray realistic working-class scenes, mixed with a romantic and most improvable plot. Later on, she had other novels published, like Haworth's Louisiana A Fair Barbarian (1881), and Through One Administration (1883), as well as a play, Esmeralda But all these books were not to be her most successful work. In 1886, she published Little Lord Fauntleroy , a children's book which fascinated mothers, for they began dressing their sons in velvet suit with lace collar, like the main character of this book. Her later books include Sara Crew (1888), later rewritten as A Little Princess for drama, and her marvelous Secret Garden (1909). Both were children's books, and thanks to them, Burnett is quite well-known now-a-days.

Four years after her birth, her father died, leaving her mother with five children and little money. Her mother carried on the family business, running a wholesale firm that supplied art materials to wealthy manufacturers. Her efforts failed in part due to the effects of the American Civil War. Though this, Frances seemed to have been happy and had a fertile imagination. She wrote her first poem at the age of 7 and began writing melodramatic novelettes. In 1864 the family Mrs. Hodgson was forces to sell the store and the family moved to Knoxville, Tennessee after receiving a letter from her brother (Carpenter, 1990; Laski, 1950). The family situation did not improve. Frances decided to send a story to an editor. Her paper and postage-stamps for the venture had to be earned by picking and selling wild grapes. In 1868, at the age of 18, her first stories were published in Godey's Lady's Book Hearts and Diamonds and Miss Caruther's Engagement.

Frances Hodgson Burnett biography Biography of Frances Hodgson Burnett, a nineteenth century dialect story writer. Frances Eliza Hodgson Burnett was born on November 24, 1849 at Manchester, England. Her father died in 1865 and the family moved to America, settling in Newmarket, Tennessee. There the family that consisted of mother, two sons, and three daughters sought to make a living on a little farm. There were many trying times, but they all worked together bravely. Frances felt that she had the ability to write and felt that she could earn money from it. She began with short stories which were published in Peterson’s Magazine and Godey’s Lady’s Book, but she didn’t receive marked success or recognition until she was published the dialect story “Surly Tim’s Trouble” in Scribner’s Magazine in 1872. Her girlhood days in Manchester had made her familiar with the Lancashire dialect and she turned to that knowledge to write the story. This launched her career and afterwards she was sought after by publishers. In 1875 Frances married Dr. Swan M. Burnett and traveled extensively throughout Europe. When they finished traveling they took up residence in Washington.
