Mengenai Pengarang
Gordon Daviot, a pseudonym for Elizabeth Mac Kintosh (1896–1952), was a Scottish author renowned for her literary contributions in the early 20th century. Despite being more widely recognized under another nom de plume, Josephine Tey, for her mystery novels, Daviot delved into historical themes with works such as ‘The Privateer’ which illuminated the adventurous tales of real-life privateers. Her writing under Gordon Daviot often manifested a vivid portrayal of the past, intertwining historical facts with dramatic flair. Her literary style under this pseudonym diverged from her detective fiction, instead embracing a more narrative-driven historical fiction that captured the intricacies and moralities of another time. ‘The Privateer’ stands as a testament to her versatility and depth as an author, showcasing her ability to craft compelling stories across genres. While her work as Josephine Tey brought her mainstream acclaim, particularly for her novel ‘The Daughter of Time’, her writing as Gordon Daviot contributed a valuable perspective to the historical niche within the literary panorama of her era.
