Autorenporträt
Sir Francis Cowley Burnand, commonly known as F. C. Burnand, was a celebrated English humorist and playwright, whose literary career spanned much of the Victorian era. Born on November 29, 1836, in London, Burnand was an alumnus of Trinity College, Cambridge, where he first began to flex his comedic and literary muscles by contributing to college magazines. His oeuvre is extensive, encompassing burlesques, farces, comedies, and novels. The most enduring of his literary endeavors has arguably been his contributions to the satirical magazine Punch, of which he became editor in 1880, a role he upheld until 1906, bringing wit and a sharp eye to the esteemed publication. Among his numerous works, 'Happy-Thought Hall' stands out as an exemplar of his humorous and parodic style. The book showcases Burnand's adeptness at satirizing the social mores and fashions of his time, evidenced in both the structure and content of the prose. Burnand's capacity to blend farce with keen observation earned him both popular and critical acclaim. Knighted in 1902 for his contributions to drama and literature, Burnand's legacy rests not only on his written work but also on his influence in shaping the wit and satirical edge of one of Britain's most iconic humor magazines. He passed away on April 21, 1917, leaving behind a treasure trove of Victorian humor and wit, which continues to be celebrated by scholars and readers alike.
