Autorenporträt
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, British author, poet, and essayist Maurice Henry Hewlett made significant contributions to historical fiction. Hewlett was educated at the University College School in London and studied at the British Museum. He was born on February 22, 1861, in Weymouth, England. His historical novels, which are frequently set in the mediaeval or Renaissance eras, brought Hewlett notoriety. "The Forest Lovers" (1898), a retelling of the Robin Hood story, and "The Life and Death of Richard Yea-and-Nay" (1900), a novel based on the life of Richard the Lionheart, are two of his most well-known works. His narratives were engrossing because he combined poetic language with an acute awareness of historical fact. Even though Hewlett's fame waned in the last decades of the 1900s, his creations were warmly embraced while he was alive. On June 15, 1923, Maurice Hewlett passed suddenly. He left behind a corpus of work that demonstrated his love of literature, history, and narrative.
