Edith Nesbit Biografía y Hechos

Edith Nesbit (Londres, 15 de agosto de 1858-Kent, 4 de mayo de 1924) fue una escritora y poetisa inglesa. Menor de seis hermanos, viajó por Inglaterra, España y Francia. Se casó a los 21 años con Hubert Bland, con quien tuvo cinco hijos. Fundó la Sociedad Fabiana. Fue una de las primeras mujeres en fumar en público. Murió de cáncer de pulmón. Escribió terror, romance, poesía, propaganda socialista,obras de teatro y reseñas. Y escribió un libro muy famoso llamado El castillo encantado. Es conocida mayormente por sus libros para niños llenos de humor y con un estilo innovador que, en ocasiones, desarrolla las aventuras de los protagonistas en una realidad ordinaria con elementos mágicos. Las novelas de Edith Nesbit fueron a menudo una fuente de inspiración para otros escritores infantiles como C. S. Lewis, el escritor de Las Crónicas de Narnia; J. K. Rowling, la autora de la saga Harry Potter; Diana Wynne Jones; Pamela Lyndon Travers; y Edward Eager. Biografía Nesbit nació en 1858 en el número 38 de Lower Kennington Lane, Kennington, Surrey (ahora clasificado como Londres interior o Inner London).[1]​ Su padre, John Collis Nesbit, era un químico agrícola que murió en marzo de 1862, antes de que ella cumpliera cuatro años.[2]​ Su madre era Sarah Green, de soltera Alderton. La mala salud de Mary, hermana de Edith, obligó a la familia a viajar durante algunos años, viviendo en Brighton, Buckinghamshire, Francia (Dieppe, Ruan, París, Tours, Poitiers, Angulema, Burdeos, Arcachón, Pau, Bagnères-de-Bigorre y Dinan), España y Alemania. Mary se comprometió en 1871 con el poeta Philip Bourke Marston, pero ese mismo año murió de tuberculosis en Normandía.[3]​ Tras la muerte de Mary, Edith y su madre se instalaron durante tres años en Halstead Hall, Halstead, al noroeste de Kent, lugar que inspiró The Railway Children, aunque la inspiración para esta obra también ha sido reclamada por la localidad de New Mills, en Derbyshire.[4]​ Cuando Nesbit tenía 17 años, la familia se trasladó a Lewisham, en el sureste de Londres. En el número 28 de Elswick Road hay una placa del ayuntamiento de Lewisham dedicada a ella.[5]​ En 1877, a la edad de 18 años, Nesbit conoció al empleado de banca Hubert Bland, tres años mayor que ella. Embarazada de siete meses, se casó con Bland el 22 de abril de 1880, sin embargo no se fueron a vivir juntos, ya que Bland se quedó con su madre. Su matrimonio fue tumultuoso. Pronto, Nesbit descubrió que había otra mujer que pensaba que era la prometida de Hubert y con quien también había tenido un hijo. El mazazo definitivo para Edith llegó en 1886, cuando descubrió que su amiga, Alice Hoatson, estaba embarazada de él. Previamente había aceptado adoptar al hijo de Hoatson y dejó que Alice viviera con Hubert y ella como ama de llaves. Tras descubrir la verdad, Edith y su marido discutieron fuertemente y ella sugirió que Hoatson y el bebé, Rosamund, se marcharan; su marido amenazó con abandonar a Edith si renegaba del bebé y de su madre. Hoatson permaneció con ellos como ama de llaves y secretaria y volvió a quedarse embarazada de Bland trece años después. Edith volvió a adoptar al hijo de Hoatson, John.[6]​ Los hijos de Nesbit con Bland fueron Paul Cyril Bland (1880-1940), a quien dedicó The Railway Children, Mary Iris Bland (1881-1965), que se casó con John Austin D. Phillips en 1907, y Fabian Bland (1885-1900). Los dos hijos de Bland con Alice Hoatson, a quien Edith adoptó, fueron Rosamund Edith Nesbit Hamilton, más tarde Bland (1886-1950), que se casó con Clifford Dyer Sharp el 16 de octubre de 1909, y a quien dedicó The Book of Dragons, y John Oliver Wentworth Bland (1899-1946), a quien se dedicaron The House of Arden y Five Children and It.[7]​[8]​ El hijo de Nesbit, Fabian, murió a los 15 años tras una operación de amígdalas; Nesbit le dedicó varios libros, entre ellos The Story of the Treasure Seekers y sus secuelas. La hija adoptiva de Nesbit, Rosamund, colaboró con ella en Cat Tales.Nesbit admiraba al artista y socialista marxista William Morris.[9]​[10]​ La pareja se unió a los fundadores de la Sociedad Fabiana en 1884,[11]​ que dio nombre a su hijo Fabian,[12]​ y editaron conjuntamente su revista Today. Hoatson era su secretario adjunto. Nesbit y Bland se afiliaron a la Federación Socialdemócrata, pero les pareció demasiado radical. Nesbit fue una prolífica conferenciante y escritora sobre socialismo en la década de 1880. Ella y su marido escribieron conjuntamente bajo el seudónimo de "Fabian Bland".[13]​ Sin embargo, el trabajo conjunto disminuyó a medida que aumentaba el éxito de Nesbit como autora de libros infantiles. Fue conferenciante invitada en la Escuela de Economía de Londres, fundada por otros miembros de la Sociedad Fabiana. Edith vivió de 1899 a 1920 en Well Hall, Eltham, en el sureste de Londres,[14]​ que aparece en la ficción en varios de sus libros, como The Red House. A partir de 1911 tuvo una segunda residencia en Crowlink, Friston, Sussex Oriental, en Sussex Downs.[15]​ Ella y su marido recibieron a muchos amigos, colegas y admiradores en Well Hall.[16]​ El 20 de febrero de 1917, unos tres años después de la muerte de Bland, Nesbit se casó con Thomas "el Patrón" Tucker en Woolwich, donde él era capitán del transbordador de Woolwich. Hacia el final de su vida, Nesbit se trasladó primero a Crowlink, y después con el capitán a dos propiedades contiguas que eran edificios del Real Cuerpo Aéreo, 'Jolly Boat' y 'Long Boat'. Nesbit vivió en 'Jolly Boat' y el capitán en 'Long Boat'. Nesbit murió en "The Long Boat", en Jesson, St Mary's Bay, New Romney, Kent, en 1924, probablemente de cáncer de pulmón ("fumaba sin cesar"),[17]​ y fue enterrada en el cementerio de St Mary in the Marsh. Su marido Thomas murió en la misma dirección el 17 de mayo de 1935. El hijo de Edith, Paul Bland, fue albacea testamentario de Thomas Tucker. Trayectoria Las primeras obras publicadas de Nesbit fueron poemas. Tenía menos de 20 años cuando, en marzo de 1878, la revista mensual Good Words publicó su poema "Under the Trees".[18]​ En total publicó unos 40 libros para niños, entre novelas, libros de cuentos y álbumes ilustrados.[19]​ También publicó casi el mismo número de libros en colaboración con otros autores. La biógrafa de Nesbit, Julia Briggs, la nombra "la primera escritora moderna para niños", que "ayudó a invertir la gran tradición de la literatura infantil inaugurada por Lewis Carroll, George MacDonald y Kenneth Grahame, al apartarse de sus mundos secundarios para acercarse a las duras verdades que se obtienen del encuentro con las cosas tal y como son, antes propias de las novelas para adultos".[20]​ Briggs también atribuye a Nesbit la invención del relato de aventuras para niños. Noël Coward la admiraba. En una carta a uno de sus primeros biógrafos, Noel Streatfeild escribió: "Tenía una gran economía de frases y un talento sin igual para evocar los calurosos días de verano en la campiña inglesa".[21]​ Entre los libros más conocidos de Nesbit figuran The S....
