Autorenporträt
American writer Harold Bell Wright (1872-1944) is well recognised for his widely read books from the early 20th century. Wright was born in Rome, New York, on May 4, 1872, and was raised in a creative and devout household. After gaining an interest in ministry while attending Ohio's Hiram College, he went on to study at Boston University Theological School. Wright served as a pastor in a number of places, but he decided to focus on writing because of health problems. After "The Shepherd of the Hills," his breakout book, was released in 1907 and became an enormous hit, he became a well-known and successful writer. The Ozark Mountains served as the setting for this book, which centred on themes of atonement, forgiveness, and the consequences of previous deeds. Throughout his life, Wright's novels were widely read, and he became very well-known. But occasionally, his paintings were criticised for being too emotional. In spite of this, he had a big influence on American literature in the early 20th century.
