Autorenporträt

Mowbray Morris (1859-1946) was an English writer and editor, best known for his biographical works on historical figures. Morris's scholarship was devoted to bringing to life the personas and epochs that shaped Britain's history. His book, 'Claverhouse' (1887), is a detailed biography of John Graham of Claverhouse, Viscount Dundee, a Scottish soldier and nobleman in the 17th century, often remembered for his role in the Battle of Killiecrankie and his firm support of the Stuart monarchy. Morris's approach to biography is characterized by a meticulous attention to historical detail and a narrative style that seeks to present a balanced account of its subject matter. His literary style often involved a combination of comprehensive research and a compelling recounting of events, making his works both informative and engaging to read. Although 'Claverhouse' may not be as widely known today, Morris's contribution to biographical literature provides a window into the socio-political turmoil of Scotland in the late 1600s, and it remains a valuable source for those interested in the period's history and the complexities of its key figures.
