Autorenporträt
Alfred Edward Woodley Mason, commonly known as A. E. W. Mason (1865-1948), was a prolific English author best known for his classic adventure novel 'The Four Feathers' (1902). He was born in London and educated at Dulwich College, London, and Trinity College, Oxford. After a stint in acting, Mason turned his focus entirely to writing. Mason's literary style often fused elements of adventure with a deep understanding of human psychology and a rich sense of location, perhaps attributable to his travels and brief service as a war correspondent during the Boer War. Apart from 'The Four Feathers,' which remains his most celebrated work, Mason authored other notable books, including the lesser-known 'The Broken Road' (1907). Although 'The Broken Road' has not received the same critical acclaim as some of his other works, it nonetheless exemplifies Mason's knack for storytelling and his ability to translate the intricacies of human dilemma into compelling narrative form. Mason's literary contributions extend beyond fiction; he also served as a Liberal Member of Parliament. In the canon of early 20th-century British literature, Mason's body of work continues to captivate readers with its adventurous spirit and keen insights into the ethos of the era.
