Diana Gabaldon belongs to the literary record as a writer whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.
The record lists Diana Gabaldon as American author (born 1952).
Diana Gabaldon was born at Williams in 1952. Her recorded nationality is United States. She was educated at Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
Twentieth-century writing was shaped by war, exile and translation; many of its major careers were conducted across more than one language and country.
She worked as writer, novelist and science fiction writer.
The writing is recorded in English.
Her work is classed as fantasy and historical fiction.
Her best-known work is Outlander. Literature is judged by re-reading, which is a slower and harsher test than acclaim.
That the work was written from United States matters: language, censorship and the reach of a publishing industry decide which books travel and which stay local.
