Louisa De La Ramê (Ouida)


Wade (January 1, 1839 - January 25, 1908) was the pseudonym of the English writer Maria Louise Rame (although she preferred to be known as Maria Louise de la Rame). Over the course of her career, Uida has written over 40 novels, as well as short stories, children's books, and essays. Moderately successful, she lived a luxurious life, entertaining many of the literary figures of the day. One of her most famous novels, “Under Two Flags,” describes the British in Algeria. He expressed sympathy for the French colonists, with whom Weed was deeply identified, and, to some extent, the Arabs. The novel was adapted for the scene and was filmed six times. Her novel, The Dog of Flanders, is considered a children's classic in much of Asia. The American writer Jack London called her novel “Signa” one of the reasons for its literary success. Her generous lifestyle eventually led her to poverty, and her work was auctioned to pay off her debts. She died in Italy from pneumonia. Shortly after her death, her friends organized a public subscription to Bury St Edmunds, where she had a fountain for horses and dogs in her name. Maria Louise Rame was born in Bury St Edmunds, England. Her mother, Susan Sutton, was the daughter of a wine merchant; her father was from France. She got her pseudonym from the childhood pronunciation of her name “Louise”. Her opinion of her birthplace fluctuated; she wrote: “This clean, quiet, outdated city that always reminds me of an old maid dressed for a party; this lowest and darkest city, where the streets are full of grass, as an acre of grazing land. Why do residents have to ring their own doorbells so they don’t laugh because of non-use? ”
