Ellen Marriage war eine englische Übersetzerin aus dem Französischen, die für ihre sorgfältigen Übertragungen von Balzacs Romanen bekannt ist. Sie widmete sich der Gewährleistung von Lesbarkeit und Genauigkeit, eine für Übersetzer ihrer Zeit ungewöhnliche Anstrengung. Ihre Arbeit an Balzacs Zyklus "Die menschliche Komödie", obwohl bescheiden vergütet, wurde für ihre Präzision gefeiert, einschließlich ihrer Reisen nach Frankreich, um Details und Fachvokabular zu überprüfen. Obwohl dieses umfangreiche Werk ihr einziges Großprojekt war, blieben ihre Übersetzungen, die oft in populären Ausgaben erschienen, jahrzehntelang im Druck und zeigten ihr bemerkenswertes Engagement für literarische Treue.
