Autorenporträt
Charles Kingsley (1819-1875) was a versatile and influential figure in Victorian England, recognized not only as a writer but also as a social reformer and Anglican priest. Kingsley's literary output includes a range of genres, from social novels and historical romances to children's literature. 'Alton Locke, Tailor and Poet: An Autobiography' (1850) is one of his well-known social novels, offering a vivid portrayal of the Chartist movement and its implications on the working classes of 19th-century England. A significant part of his literary style was his advocacy for Christian socialism and his concern for social justice, which permeated much of his writing. Kingsley was also known for his work 'The Water-Babies, A Fairy Tale for a Land Baby' (1863), which blended fantasy and morality, reflecting his imaginative prowess and command of narrative. His contribution to literature was paralleled by his engagement in educational and social issues, serving as a Professor of Modern History at Cambridge University, and his role in the founding of the Working Men's College in London. Kingsley's influence extended beyond his lifetime, impacting both literary and social spheres in Victorian society and beyond.
