Edith Constance Holme (7 October 1880 – 17 June 1955), married name Punchard, was an English writer and playwright. She was born in Milnthorpe, Westmorland (now in Cumbria), the youngest of fourteen children. Her novels are set in the old county of Westmorland, where she lived most of her life. Many of Holme's works explore class relationships; her first two books focus on the three-way relationships between landowners, tenant farmers and land agents (Holme's father and her husband were both land agents).

  • Edith Constance Holme (7 October 1880 – 17 June 1955), married name Punchard, was an English writer and playwright. She was born in Milnthorpe, Westmorland (now in Cumbria), the youngest of fourteen children. Her novels are set in the old county of Westmorland, where she lived most of her life. Many of Holme's works explore class relationships; her first two books focus on the three-way relationships between landowners, tenant farmers and land agents (Holme's father and her husband were both land agents). Uniquely among living twentieth-century authors, all of Holme's novels and her book of short stories were published in the Oxford World's Classics series. The Lonely Plough was also, in 1936, among the first novels published by Penguin. Despite this, her reputation faded quickly after her death; indeed, it had been questioned even during her own lifetime, with The Saturday Review commenting in 1938, "We are still hunting for someone who has actually read Constance Holme's novels." Some of her books were reprinted during the 1970s; however, her final work, The Jasper Sea, remains unpublished. (en)
  • Edith Constance Holme, épouse Punchard, née le 7 octobre 1880 à Milnthorpe (dans le Westmorland, aujourd'hui en Cumbria) et morte le 17 juin 1955, est une femme de lettres et dramaturge anglaise. Elle est la plus jeune de quatorze enfants. Ses romans se passent pour la plupart dans le Westmorland, où elle vécut presque toute sa vie. Ses livres explorent souvent les relations de classe à la campagne ; ses premiers deux livres décrivent les relations entre les propriétaires terriens, leurs fermiers et les agents des terres de la Couronne (le père de Constance Holme et son mari étaient agents des terres). C'est le premier auteur du XXe siècle à avoir eu ses nouvelles publiées par les Oxford World's Classics. The Lonely Plough est en 1936 un des premiers romans qui ait été publié par Penguin. Cependant, son œuvre tombe rapidement dans l'oubli après sa mort ; déjà le Saturday Review s'interroge en 1938 : « Nous sommes toujours à la recherche de quelqu'un qui aurait lu les romans de Constance Holme. ». Certains de ses livres sont réédités dans les années 1970 ; son dernier livre, The Jasper Sea, n'a pas été réédité. (fr)
