Лидия Койн Флетчер (около 1853 года-2 марта 1904 г.) была ирландско-американским драматургом и писателем.

Ранняя жизнь и образование

Флетчер родился в Дублине, Ирландия, и вырос в Балтиморе, штат Мэриленд . ^{[ 1 ]} Ее дядя Чарльз Леонард Флетчер был драматургом в Нью -Йорке и управлял там актерской школой. ^{[ 2 ]} «Койн» была фамилией ее бабушки; драматург Джозеф Стерлинг Койн был ее двоюродным братом. ^{[ 3 ]}

Карьера

Флетчер была гувернантой как молодая женщина. Она была почтовым клерком в Вашингтоне, округ Колумбия, и писала романы и пьесы. ^{[ 4 ]}^{[ 5 ]} Она была чартерным членом Ассоциации американских авторов, когда она была основана в 1892 году. ^{[ 6 ]} Она адаптировала свою военную комедию ребенка для бакалавра для сцены, и она была произведена в Теннесси и Вашингтоне в 1895 году, ^{[ 7 ]}^{[ 8 ]} and on Broadway in 1897. Olga Nethersole was cast to star in her play Yvolna (1898), based on Salammbo by Flaubert.^[9]^[10]^[11]

Beyond fiction and plays, Fletcher's 1891 essay on the South Carolina lowlands is still cited as a useful first-hand account of the region a generation after the American Civil War.^[12]^[13] She went to court in 1902 concerning 32 acres of land in Washington, known as "Girl's Portion".^[14]

Personal life and legacy

Fletcher was described as a "tall, handsome woman",^[1] a "strong character"^[5] and a "bachelor woman", with a knack for decorating and entertaining. She collected steel engravings and souvenir cushions.^[20] "As a dialect storyteller, she has no equal among any women I have known," wrote one reporter in 1894.^[5]

Fletcher died in 1904, at the age of 50, in a hospital in Washington, D.C.^[21]^[22] In 1909, a play named A Bachelor's Baby was produced by Charles Frohman in New York, without credit to Fletcher; her nephew sued to stop the production.^[23] The credited playwright, Francis Wilson, claimed that the works only shared a title.^[24] Three films were produced with essentially the same title: A Bachelor's Baby (1922), The Bachelor's Baby (1927) and Bachelor's Baby (1932); but none of them credited Fletcher's novel or play as source material.
