Emma Orczy
Hungarian-born <anchor>Emma Orczy</anchor>'s (1865–1947) original play, The Scarlet Pimpernel, opened in October 1903 at Nottingham's Theatre Royal but was not a success. However, with a rewritten last act, it opened at the New Theatre in London in January 1905. The premier of the London production was enthusiastically received by the audience, running 122 performances and enjoying numerous revivals. The Scarlet Pimpernel became a favourite of London audiences, playing more than 2,000 performances and becoming one of the most popular shows staged in England to that date.[ citation needed] The novel The Scarlet Pimpernel was published soon after the play opened and was an immediate success. Orczy gained a following of readers in Britain and throughout the world. The popularity of the novel encouraged her to write a number of sequels for her "reckless daredevil" over the next 35 years. The play was performed to great acclaim in France, Italy, Germany and Spain, while the novel was translated into 16 languages. Subsequently, the story has been adapted for television, film, a musical "The Scarlet Pimpernel (musical)") and other media.

**Baroness Emma Orczy** (full name: _Emma Magdalena Rozália Mária Jozefa Borbála Orczy de Orci_) ([/ˈɔːrtsiː/](/wiki/Help:IPA/English "Help:IPA/English"); 23 September 1865 – 12 November 1947), usually known as **Baroness Orczy** (the name under which she was published) or to her family and friends as **Emmuska Orczy**, was a Hungarian-born British novelist and playwright. She is best known for her series of novels featuring the [Scarlet Pimpernel](/wiki/The_Scarlet_Pimpernel "The Scarlet Pimpernel"), the alter ego of Sir Percy Blakeney, a wealthy English fop who turns into a quick-thinking [escape artist](/wiki/Escapology "Escapology") in order to save [French aristocrats](/wiki/French_nobility "French nobility") from "Madame Guillotine" during the [French Revolution](/wiki/French_Revolution "French Revolution"), establishing the "hero with a [secret identity](/wiki/Secret_identity "Secret identity")" in popular culture.[\[1\]](#cite_note-Robb-1)

Opening in London's [West End](/wiki/West_End_theatre "West End theatre") on 5 January 1905, _The Scarlet Pimpernel_ became a favourite of British audiences. Some of Orczy's paintings were exhibited at the [Royal Academy](/wiki/Royal_Academy "Royal Academy") in London. She established the Women of England's Active Service League during World War I with the intention of empowering women to convince men to enlist in the military.

## Early life

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Baroness_Orczy&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Early life")\]

Orczy was born in [Tarnaörs](/wiki/Tarna%C3%B6rs "Tarnaörs"), Hungary. She was the daughter of the composer Baron Félix Orczy de [Orci](/wiki/Orci "Orci") (1835–1892) and Countess Emma Wass de [Szentegyed et Cege](/wiki/Vasasszentegyed "Vasasszentegyed") (1839–1892).[\[2\]](#cite_note-2)
Her paternal grandfather, Baron László Orczy (1787–1880) was a royal councillor, and knight of the [Sicilian order of Saint George](/wiki/Sacred_Military_Constantinian_Order_of_Saint_George "Sacred Military Constantinian Order of Saint George"),[\[3\]](#cite_note-3) her paternal grandmother, Baroness Magdolna, born Magdolna Müller (1811–1879), was of Austrian origin.[\[4\]](#cite_note-4) Her maternal grandparents were the Count Sámuel Wass de Szentegyed et Cege (1815–1879), member of the Hungarian parliament,[\[5\]](#cite_note-5) and Rozália Eperjessy de Károlyfejérvár (1814–1884).[\[6\]](#cite_note-6)

Emma's parents left their estate for Budapest in 1868, fearful of the threat of a peasant revolution. They lived in Budapest, Brussels, and Paris, where Emma studied music unsuccessfully. Finally, in 1880, the 14-year-old Emma and her family moved to London, England where they lodged with their countryman, Francis Pichler, at 162 [Great Portland Street](/wiki/Great_Portland_Street "Great Portland Street"). Orczy attended [West London School of Art](/wiki/West_London_School_of_Art "West London School of Art") and then the [Heatherley School of Fine Art](/wiki/Heatherley_School_of_Fine_Art "Heatherley School of Fine Art").

Although not destined to be a painter, it was at art school that she met a young illustrator named Henry George Montagu MacLean Barstow, the son of an English clergyman; they were married at St Marylebone parish church on 7 November 1894. It was the start of what she described as a joyful and happy marriage, "for close on half a century, one of perfect happiness and understanding, of perfect friendship and communion of thought."[\[7\]](#cite_note-7)

## Writing career

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Baroness_Orczy&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: Writing career")\]

They had very little money and Orczy started to work with her husband as a translator and an illustrator to supplement his meager earnings. John Montague Orczy-Barstow, their only child, was born on 25 February 1899. She started writing soon after his birth, but her first novel, _[The Emperor's Candlesticks](/wiki/The_Emperor%27s_Candlesticks "The Emperor's Candlesticks")_ (1899), was a failure. She did, however, find a small following with a series of [detective stories](/wiki/Detective_stories "Detective stories") in the _[Royal Magazine](/wiki/Royal_Magazine "Royal Magazine")_. Her next novel, _[In Mary's Reign](/wiki/In_Mary%27s_Reign "In Mary's Reign")_ (1901), did better.

In 1903, she and her husband wrote _[The Scarlet Pimpernel](/wiki/The_Scarlet_Pimpernel "The Scarlet Pimpernel")_, a play based on one of her short stories about an English aristocrat, Sir Percy Blakeney, Bart., who rescued French aristocrats from the [French Revolution](/wiki/French_Revolution "French Revolution"). She had conceived the character while standing on a platform on the [London Underground](/wiki/London_Underground "London Underground").[\[8\]](#cite_note-8) She submitted her novelisation of the story under the same title to 12 publishers. While the couple waited for the decisions of these publishers, [Fred Terry](/wiki/Fred_Terry "Fred Terry") and [Julia Neilson](/wiki/Julia_Neilson "Julia Neilson") accepted the play for production in London's [West End](/wiki/West_End_theatre "West End theatre"). Initially, it drew small audiences, but the play ran for four years in London, and broke many stage records, eventually playing more than 2,000 performances and becoming one of the most popular shows staged in Britain. It was translated and produced in other countries and underwent several revivals. This theatrical success generated huge sales for the novel
. The couple moved to Thanet, Kent.[\[9\]](#cite_note-9)

Introducing the notion of a "hero with a [secret identity](/wiki/Secret_identity "Secret identity")" into popular culture, the Scarlet Pimpernel exhibits characteristics that would become standard superhero conventions, including the penchant for disguise, use of a signature weapon (sword), ability to out-think and outwit his adversaries, and a calling card (he leaves behind a [scarlet pimpernel](/wiki/Anagallis_arvensis "Anagallis arvensis") at each of his interventions).[\[1\]](#cite_note-Robb-1) By drawing attention to his alter ego, Blakeney hides behind his public face as a slow-thinking, foppish playboy, and he also establishes a network of supporters, The League of the Scarlet Pimpernel, who aid his endeavours.[\[1\]](#cite_note-Robb-1)[\[10\]](#cite_note-10)

Orczy went on to write over a dozen sequels featuring Sir Percy Blakeney, his family, and the other members of the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel, of which the first, _[I Will Repay](/wiki/I_Will_Repay_(novel) "I Will Repay (novel)")_ (1906), was the most popular. The last Pimpernel book, _[Mam'zelle Guillotine](/wiki/Mam%27zelle_Guillotine "Mam'zelle Guillotine")_, was published in 1940. None of her three subsequent plays matched the success of _The Scarlet Pimpernel_. She also wrote popular mystery fiction and many adventure romances. Her _[Lady Molly of Scotland Yard](/wiki/Lady_Molly_of_Scotland_Yard "Lady Molly of Scotland Yard")_ was an early example of a female detective as the main character. Other popular detective stories featured _[The Old Man in the Corner](/wiki/The_Old_Man_in_the_Corner "The Old Man in the Corner")_, a sleuth who chiefly used logic to solve crimes. Orczy was a founding member of the [Detection Club](/wiki/Detection_Club "Detection Club") (1930).

Orczy's novels were racy, mannered melodramas and she favoured historical fiction. Critic [Mary Cadogan](/wiki/Mary_Cadogan "Mary Cadogan") states, "Orczy's books are highly wrought and intensely atmospheric".[\[11\]](#cite_note-mc-11) In _[The Nest of the Sparrowhawk](/wiki/The_Nest_of_the_Sparrowhawk "The Nest of the Sparrowhawk")_ (1909), for example, a malicious guardian in Puritan Kent tricks his beautiful, wealthy young ward into marrying him by disguising himself as an exiled French prince. He persuades his widowed sister-in-law to abet him in this plot, in which she unwittingly disgraces one of her long-lost sons and finds the other murdered by the villain. Even though this novel had no link to _[The Scarlet Pimpernel](/wiki/The_Scarlet_Pimpernel "The Scarlet Pimpernel")_ other than its shared authorship, the publisher advertised it as part of "The Scarlet Pimpernel Series".

## Political views

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Baroness_Orczy&action=edit&section=3 "Edit section: Political views")\]

Orczy held strong political views. She was a firm believer in the superiority of the aristocracy,[\[12\]](#cite_note-12) as well as being a supporter of British imperialism and militarism.[\[11\]](#cite_note-mc-11) During World War I, Orczy formed the Women of England's Active Service League, an unofficial organisation aimed at encouraging women to persuade men to volunteer for active service in the armed forces. Her aim was to enlist 100,000 women who would pledge "to persuade every man I know to offer his service to his country". Some 20,000 women joined her organisation.[\[13\]](#cite_note-13)[\[14\]](#cite_note-14) Orczy strongly opposed the [Soviet Union](/wiki/Soviet_Union "Soviet Union").[\[15\]](#cite_note-15)

## Later life

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Baroness_Orczy&action=edit&section=4 "Edit section: Later life")\]

Orczy's work was so successful that she was able to buy a house in Monte Carlo: "Villa Bijou" at 19 Avenue de la Costa (since demolished), which is where she spent World War II. She was not able to return to London until after the war. Montagu Barstow died in Monte Carlo in 1942. Finding herself alone and unable to travel, she wrote her memoir _Links in the Chain of Life_ (published 1947).[\[16\]](#cite_note-16)

She died in [Henley-on-Thames](/wiki/Henley-on-Thames "Henley-on-Thames"), Oxfordshire on 12 November 1947.\[ _[citation needed](/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")_\]

## Name pronunciation

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Baroness_Orczy&action=edit&section=5 "Edit section: Name pronunciation")\]

Asked how to say her name, Orczy told _The Literary Digest_: "Or-tsey. _Emmuska_—a diminutive meaning "little Emma"—accent on the first syllable, the _s_ equivalent to _sh_ in English; thus, [_EM-moosh-ka_](/wiki/Help:Pronunciation_respelling_key "Help:Pronunciation respelling key")."[\[17\]](#cite_note-17)
