Escrito por Frederick Marryat


Frederick Marryat (1792 - 1848) va abandonar l'any 1830, una brillant carrera a la marina de guerra britànica per dedicar-se exclusivament a la literatura. La seva narrativa sol tenir el mar com a escenari, amb aventures i combats com a ingridients bàsics d l'acció. Immensament admirat en el seu temps, segueix sent-ho avui, i moltes de les seves obres ("Peter Simple", "El guardiana marina Easy", "El vaixell fantasma"...) continuen sent editades, tradüides i llegides en diferents idiomes. Autors com Mark Twain, Ernest Hemingway, Joseph Conrad o, més recentment, C. S. Forester, entre molts altres, el consideren el fundador de la moderna narrativa naval. "La lloba que fou" també el situa com un autor crucial de la literatura fantàstica en el l'àmbit temàtic de l'home-llop.
