Autoren-Porträt von Ada Langworthy Collier

Ada Langworthy Collier (1843-1919) was an American poet and writer, known predominantly for her narrative poem 'Lilith', which remains her most celebrated work. Born in Dubuque, Iowa, Collier's literary career was reflective of the profound Victorian sensibilities of her era, often exploring themes of femininity and mythological symbolism. 'Lilith' is a key example of her nuanced approach to narrative poetry, wherein she delves into the ancient Jewish folklore of Lilith, the legendary first wife of Adam. Collier's exploration of Lilith as a powerful and independent figure has been seen as a reflection of emerging feminist discourse of the time. Her poetic style, characterized by its evocative imagery and emotional depth, was in harmony with the literary movements of the late 19th century, which began to challenge traditional narratives and social norms. Although her work did not receive widespread attention during her lifetime, Collier has posthumously been recognized for her contributions to American literature and her role in broadening the scope of female characters in poetry. Her work is a testament to the rich, yet often overlooked, contributions of women writers to the literary canon of the United States.
