Autorenporträt
Horace Elisha Scudder (1838-1902) was an American man of letters, esteemed for both his literary criticism and his works for children. Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Scudder achieved a fine balance between scholarly pursuits and the art of engaging younger audiences. An 1858 graduate of Williams College, he continued his study at the Andover Theological Seminary, which is reflective in the moral underpinning found in several of his writings. Scudder's prolific career included a stint as editor for the esteemed publication, 'The Atlantic Monthly', elevating its literary standings. His biographical work 'Noah Webster' is emblematic of his scholastic precision and narrative prowess, encapsulating the life of the eponymous American lexicographer with both factual detail and a palpable respect for his subject's linguistic contributions. Scudder also penned 'The Bodley Family' and 'The Dwellers in Five-Sisters Court', which further demonstrate his versatility and adeptness in language. His literary style often evokes a Victorian upbringing, characterized by moral edification and a graceful prose that has endeared him to generations of readers. Indeed, Scudder's contributions to American literature and his role in shaping children's literature are marked by both the didactic and the delightful, ensuring his continued relevance in the canon of American authors.
