Autorenporträt
Bret Harte (1836-1902) was an American author and poet known for his vivid portrayals of life in the American West during the 19th century. Born in Albany, New York, Harte moved to California during the Gold Rush era, where he worked as a miner, teacher, and journalist. His experiences in the Wild West provided inspiration for his literary career. Harte's early stories and poems captured the frontier atmosphere with realism and humor, often depicting the lives of miners, gamblers, and other colorful characters. He gained widespread acclaim for his short story "The Luck of Roaring Camp" (1868), which introduced his distinctive style and themes of rugged individualism and moral ambiguity. As an editor for "The Overland Monthly," Harte published his stories and poems, including "The Outcasts of Poker Flat" (1869) and "Miggles" (1869), which further solidified his reputation as a master of Western fiction. His works often explored the clash between frontier idealism and the harsh realities of life on the edge of civilization. Later in his career, Harte's literary output diversified to include essays, plays, and novels. He served as a U.S. Consul in Germany and Scotland, where he continued to write and publish prolifically. Despite controversy and critical shifts in reception later in life, Bret Harte's contributions to American literature left a lasting impact, influencing subsequent writers and contributing to the enduring mythology of the American West.
