![]() ![]() She is the author of Victoria (2016), about Queen Victoria, and the writer of the TV series of the same name, which has been broadcast in the UK (on ITV) since 2016, and in the US (on PBS/Masterpiece) since 2017. Besides a number of novels, Goodwin, a writer and television producer, has compiled eight anthologies of poetry. Goodwin does not pretend to break new ground in her topic but generally presents it in historically accurate detail. Set in the same era and social class as much of Henry James's early work, Goodwin’s The American Heiress also follows James's lead in placing at the center of its plot a particularly Jamesian protagonist: nouveau riche American ingénue Cora Cash, whose trip overseas plunges her into an Old World milieu of old money, secrets, and social climbing. First published in the UK as My Last Duchess in 2010, The American Heiress (2011) is a novel by Daisy Goodwin. ![]()
