Autorenporträt
Edward Frederick Knight was an English barrister, soldier, journalist, and author, born on April 23, 1852, in England. He gained recognition for his contributions as a war correspondent, an experience that significantly influenced many of his works. Knight was known for his writings on various regions, particularly those impacted by military conflict. Throughout his career, he authored 20 books, including notable titles such as Where Three Empires Meet (1893), The Cruise of the Alerte (1890), Rhodesia of To-day (1895), and South Africa After the War (1903). His works often focused on his first-hand observations and experiences, offering detailed accounts of places and events he encountered in his travels. Knight's ability to capture the essence of these regions, particularly through the lens of a war correspondent, added depth to his books and made them an important part of his literary legacy. He passed away on July 3, 1925, at the age of 73, leaving behind a body of work that continues to reflect his diverse life experiences in both military and literary pursuits.
