Fiction set in a harem
|
Elsa Cecilia Maria Lindberg-Dovlette (13 February 1874 – 8 October 1944) was a Swedish writer and Persian princess, known for her stories from a harem, an environment little understood in Europe at the time. Born in Stockholm to Finnish parents, she married a Persian prince in 1902 and moved into a harem, initially in Constantinople and later in Monaco. She wrote about harem life informed by her own experience, particularly that of being a European in an Asian culture. Her stories covered the complexity of harem life in the Ottoman Empire in the period before the First World War when traditional beliefs and practices were being challenged by new ideas. The books proved popular and were translated into Dutch, Finnish, French and German.
