Autorenporträt
Grant Allen (1848-1899) was a prolific Canadian writer and intellectual whose literary contributions extend into various genres including science, philosophy, and literature. Born on February 24, 1848, in Kingston, Ontario, Allen showcased an early interest in science, which he studied in England at Merton College, Oxford. His scientific interests deeply influenced much of his writing, as captured in works like 'Science in Arcady' (1892), a collection of Allen's popular science essays that delves into topics such as natural history and evolution, blending scholarly insights with a lyrical style that was both accessible and engaging to the Victorian readership. Allen was part of the intellectual milieu of his time, acquainting himself with the ideas of Charles Darwin and Herbert Spencer, which is reflected in his literature. He was a forerunner in discussing issues of gender and social norms through evolutionary perspectives, as evidenced in his book 'The Woman Who Did' (1895), which became a part of the controversial Keynotes Series. Allen's versatility as a writer also led him to venture into detective fiction, with works like 'An African Millionaire: Episodes in the Life of the Illustrious Colonel Clay' (1897), introducing one of the earliest literary gentleman thieves, a testament to his creative range. A scholar ahead of his time, Allen remains a thought-provoking figure whose works continue to generate interest for their blend of scholarly insight and imaginative flair.
