Jane Loudon

    Jane C. Webb Loudon fut une autrice anglaise et une pionnière de la science-fiction, écrivant avant même l'invention du terme. Son œuvre fut longtemps classée comme fiction gothique, fantasy ou horreur, alors qu'elle explorait des récits imaginatifs en avance sur son époque. Elle a également rédigé les premiers manuels de jardinage populaires, les distinguant des textes horticoles plus spécialisés. De plus, elle a contribué aux travaux littéraires de son mari, John Claudius Loudon.
