Biography
Daphne Dumourière (13 May 1907 – 19 April 1989) was a British writer of suspense romance.
Daphne Dumouri was a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and wrote seventeen novels and dozens of other genres of literature, and was awarded the NobleWoman of the British Empire in 1969. She hates urban life and has long lived in Cornwall, on the Atlantic coast of southwest Britain, and many of her works are the theme or background of the social customs and customs of this county, so it is called "Cornish novel".
Daphne Dumourière was deeply influenced by the nineteenth-century Gothic novels with mystery, horror, etc., and also studied and imitated the brontë sisters' novel creation methods, so most of the "Cornish novels" have more tortuous plots, and the characters (especially the heroines) are portrayed more delicately, while rendering the mysterious atmosphere, mixed with sentimentalism with fatalistic overtones.
Biography
Born on 13 May 1907 in London to a family of artists. Grandfather Georges Du mulière was a cartoonist and novelist, father Sir Gerald Du mullier was a famous British performing artist and theatre manager, and mother Muriel was an actress. She is the second of the three sisters in the family.
He was educated in Paris in his early years. Because of her aversion to urban life, she returned to England and lived in a villa called Manabili on the edge of a ferry crossing in Cornwall, south-west of England facing the Atlantic Ocean, marrying Boy Browning, a local Guards officer, and staying with her for life.
Du mullier was influenced by art from an early age, writing poetry and writing literature at the age of 15.
In 1925, the short story collection Apple Tree was published.
In 1931, he published his first novel, "Beloved".
In 1936, he published the novel Jamaica Inn, which depicted the adventurous life of smugglers by the sea.
Dumourière's most famous novel, Rubéka, was published in 1938.
In addition, Dumourier wrote other novels about intrigue, love, and adventure, such as "Cousin Leici" and "The Frenchman's Creek" in 1941, "The Hungry Hill" in 1943, "The King's General" in 1946, "The Eagle's Journey" in 1965, and "The Seaside House" in 1969. She has also written a biography of her father, Portrait of Gerald Dumourier, a family history of the Dumurier family, and a memoir, Cornwall in Decline.
Du mulière was deeply influenced by the 19th century Gothic novels with mystery and horror as the main features, and at the same time studied and carved the novel creation methods of the Brontë sisters, so her novels are full of romance and mystery, good at using suspense, designing twists and turns of the plot unexpected ending, and the psychological portrayal of the characters is also quite delicate and moving, making the reader unforgettable. But while she renders the mysterious atmosphere, it is also mixed with sentimentalism with fatalistic overtones. The novels Jamaica Inn and Lübecca have both been adapted into screenplays by film maestro Alfred Hitchcock, with "Rebecca" renamed Butterfly Dream.
In 1952, she was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Letters.
In 1969, she was awarded the British Empire Second Class Female KnightHood.
Dumoullier's life was very lonely and lonely, mainly because she had always had a little-known dual sexual orientation. As early as her school days, she had a very close emotional relationship with a female teacher, and later maintained a correspondence for many years; from the large number of letters she retained, she showed that she had an emotional entanglement with her American publisher's wife, Ellen Doburdy; she also maintained an ambiguous relationship with actress Gertrude Lawrence; and later became good friends with Lawrence Oliver, the male protagonist of the film Butterfly Dream. But when she returned to Manabili, she became a different person, not interacting with the outside world and concentrating on writing.
In 1965, after the death of her husband, Boy Browning (the founder of the British Paratroopers), Du mullier continued to write, but never again wrote works as successfully as in his early years.
In 1977, she rose to fame by publicly protesting the portrayal of her late husband in the film Distant Bridge. From the 80s onwards, she felt lost the value of life and could no longer find inspiration.
Since 1989, she has refused to eat, resulting in a weakening body. He died peacefully in his sleep on the evening of April 16, 1989, at the age of 82.
Major works
Originally titled Lubecca, Butterfly Dream is a masterpiece by Daphne Du mullier. In this book, Daphne Dumurière succeeds in creating the image of a mysterious female Rebecca, who is dead at the beginning of the novel, never appears in the book except for alluding to flashback passages, but is always heard and can continue to control the Manor of Mandari through her loyal servants, lovers, etc. until it is finally burned down. The other woman in the novel, the first person who appears as the narrator of the story, although she is a living person full of joy and sorrow, actually plays the role of Setting off Lubecca everywhere, and the author's method of foiling "nothingness" with "reality" is quite chic.
It is worth noting that by portraying The corrupt life of Lübecca outside of the wandering skeleton and her deformed marriage with Derwent, the author vividly exposes the phenomena of hedonism, deceit, extravagance, snobbery and hypocrisy in the British upper class. The author also successfully renders two atmospheres through the technique of blending scenes: on the one hand, the lingering nostalgia of nostalgia, on the other hand, the gloomy and repressive horror of despair. This double atmosphere overlaps and penetrates each other, coupled with the suspense of the whole book, making this book a romantic novel that has been selling well for many years. However, this work also reflects some shortcomings of the author, such as the narrower aspect of life reflected in the work, a number of paragraphs describing the scenery are a bit protracted, and sometimes repeated.
Jamaica Inn
"Floating Dreams"
"The Great General of the West"
Set against the backdrop of the English Civil War in the mid-seventeenth century, with the struggle between royalists and parliamentarians in the west of England and the dissipation of power between each other as the main line, "The Great General of the West" narrates an evocative love story that is stifling and thought-provoking to read.
Mary. Annie
Rule, Britain
Daphne Dumoullier dabbled in a variety of literary subjects throughout her life, and Rule, Britain is one of the few fantasy novels she has written.
Emma, a young girl, lives a prosperous and happy life with her grandmother, Maid, a retired female star, and six boys of very different personalities she adopts. Unexpectedly, one morning, when I woke up, the world around me suddenly changed dramatically: due to the incompetence of the British government, American troops entered various parts of the United Kingdom under the banner of "building the United States and Britain", causing an uproar, and emma's family was inevitably caught in the whirlpool. Sit down under? Passive resistance? Or take the initiative? Emma's family, like all families in the Kingdom of Britain, is in a dilemma...
In the context of the virtual plot, Du Mulière tells a fascinating story with skillful skill, humorous brushstrokes and bold imagination, creating a group of characters with distinct personalities, while also implicitly expressing her deep national feelings, adhering to the author's consistent emphasis on the readability of the work, and injecting quite novel elements into the book with a spicy and peculiar style.
The title of the book is quoted from the poem of the famous British poet James Thompson (1700-1748), which was originally intended to praise the hegemonic rule of Great Britain's "King's Landing".
The Frenchman's Cove came out three years after the publication of Butterfly Dreams. The author seems to have deviated from the original creative method and presented a warm, romantic and beautiful romantic story. There is no gloomy depression, no panic suspense; the whole story is interpreted into a dreamlike lyric poem. If the same Cornish background is erased, it is hard to believe that this unavoidably unconventional warm beauty comes from the pen of Daphne Du mullier.
But in the subsequent fictional creation, Daphne Du mullier apparently returned to her previous writing style. "Floating Dreams" is a case in point. It is intriguing that a writer, after achieving unprecedented success, once deviated from his original creative style.
He himself received a good English and French education since childhood. This background naturally made Daphne Dumoullier familiar with the upper classes of Paris and London very early. But Daphne Du mullier was not intoxicated by the prosperity and wealth of the capital, but more with the desolate Cornwall. A "Butterfly Dream" is debated by the world. For a time, the applause was thunderous, the flowers were like a tide, the praise was endless, and the temptation was all presented. Even if she is famous, Daphne is in her prime after all, has she ever been lost? When she put aside the debauched Lubecca and began to compose Donna, did she ever think of herself? Subconsciously, have you ever taken Dona's betrayal of the mainstream of the capital as a gesture of your own?
After all, Daphne Du mullier is unusual; as the daughter of a famous person, she has already seen through the fame and popularity of the world. Perhaps, she wanted to show the world her sobriety, independence, and non-cooperation in a landscape completely different from the Manor of Mandalie, with an image completely different from Lubecca.
The Scapegoat was written in 1957.
Character evaluation
The famous British novelist and critic forster e.m., 1879-1970, commenting on Daphne Dumourière's novels, said that no English novelist can break the boundary between popular fiction and pure literature like Dumourier, and let his work meet the common requirements of both literatures.
Foster is a well-known writer and critic, and his understanding of the novelist's creative process and the correct understanding of the appreciation of criticism have led him to give du Mullier's work without prejudice and give just the right commentary. The artistic expression used by Daphne Dumurier is a popular novel technique that pays attention to form and storyline, so no matter what level of reader, intellectuals, workers, housewives, peasants, as long as there is a certain culture, they can read Daphne Dumurier's novels, and they will feel easy to understand.
This is inseparable from her fondness for Gothic novels. But her novels are very different from Gothic novels. The Gothic novel ignores society and ignores the content of life for the sake of plot, while Daphne Dumurier's novel has a very solid content of social life, she places the characters in a specific living environment, social relations to portray, and human nature is displayed and tested in the picture woven by money, fame and fortune, and emotion.
It was a direct result of her love and admiration for the novels of the Branweri Brontë sisters. Daphne Du mulliers was deeply moved by the work of the Brontë sisters, who wrote a biography of their sisters, studied their biographical process, and continued to draw on the strengths of the Brontë sisters in her novels and biographical writing, with remarkable success. From the works of Daphne Du murière, popular novelists should see the profundity of the multitude, and the pure literary novelist should see the reality that the multitude can be completely reconciled.
