Josephine Cox Biografía y Hechos
Elizabeth Mackintosh (pseudónimos Josephine Tey y Gordon Daviot) (Inverness, 25 de julio de 1896 - Londres, 13 de febrero de 1952) fue una escritora escocesa, novelista y dramaturga, especialmente conocida por sus novelas de misterio. Biografía Nació en la localidad escocesa de Inverness, el 25 de julio de 1896. Era la mayor de las tres hijas del frutero Colin Mackintosh y la antigua profesora Josephine Horne Mackintosh. Asistió a la Academia Real de Inverness y a la Universidad de Birmingham. Enseñó educación física en varias escuelas de Inglaterra y Escocia, aunque en 1926 se estableció de nuevo en Inverness para cuidar a su padre, comenzando entonces su carrera como escritora.[1] La mayor parte de los libros de Mackintosh fueron escritos bajo el pseudónimo de Josephine Tey. Josephine era el nombre de su madre y Tey el apellido de su abuela.[1] El protagonista de cinco de sus novelas de misterio es el inspector de Scotland Yard Alan Grant. En su obra más conocida, The Daughter of Time, resuelve, mientras permanece internado en un hospital, el misterio del asesinato en el siglo XV de los sobrinos del rey Ricardo III de Inglaterra, a quien exonera de toda culpabilidad. En 1990, esta novela fue elegida como la mejor novela de misterio de todos los tiempos por la asociación británica Crime Writers' Association. Otra novela suya, The Franchise Affair, fue también incluida en esa misma lista, en el puesto undécimo. Además escribió varias obras de teatro bajo el nombre de Gordon Daviot y cuatro de ellas se produjeron en vida de ella. Richard of Bordeaux fue la que más éxito obtuvo: permaneció en cartel durante catorce meses.[2] Josephine Tey pertenece por razones cronológicas a la llamada Edad de oro de las novela de misterio, pero tanto su detective (el inspector Grant) como los temas que trata la sitúan relativamente lejos de otros escritores británicos de esa época. Grant es, por ejemplo, presentado como una persona muy real y nada estereotipada, alejada de los arquetipos populares en muchas novelas de la "Golden Age", como por ejemplo el Hércules Poirot de Agatha Christie. Las novelas de misterio de Josephine Tey, minuciosa y rigurosamente documentadas, rehúyen los tópicos sobreexplotados y forman también un conjunto relativamente distante de los patrones habituales en el relato policial de esa época. La hija del tiempo, por ejemplo, podría pasar por una investigación o estudio académico sobre los prejuicios acumulados por la historia y la literatura y de hecho uno de sus personajes principales es un historiador. Y en The franchise affair la investigación intenta simplemente desarmar y desvelar los motivos del falso testimonio de una joven, al parecer secuestrada y maltratada, que imputa a una madre y su hija, para lo cual se inspiró en un caso real del siglo XVIII. En efecto, el fondo histórico y la descomposición de la mentira son unos elementos constantes en su obra.
