Autorenporträt
Sir. Edwin Arnold (10 June 1832 - 24 March 1904), was born in the United Kingdom. He was a journalist and poet, most popular as the writer of The Light of Asia (1879), which describes the life and lessons of Buddha. Pearls of the Faith (1883), on Islam, and The Light of the World (1891), on Christianity, got less success. After leaving the University of Oxford, Arnold became a schoolteacher in Birmingham, and later became principal of the British government college in Pune, India. He came back to Britain in 1861 to join the staff of the Daily Telegraph, where he worked as a chief editor from 1873 to 1889. He published various volumes of short poems, as well as translations of the Indian section and a good deal of travel composition. The essays collected in Japonica (1892) were a popular contribution to the late nineteenth-century (cult of Japan) in Britain, similar to his variations of Japanese poetry in The Tenth Muse (1895) and his Japanese play Adzuma (1893). He was knighted in 1888.
