Autorenporträt

Samuel Osgood (1812-1880) was an American author and clergyman renowned for his deep insights into domestic life and societal norms of the 19th century. Osgood's articulate prose and extensive knowledge of urban family dynamics can be found in his prominent work 'The Hearth-Stone: Thoughts Upon Home-Life in Our Cities.' This seminal volume, published in 1867, delves into the intricacies of domestic life within the urban settings of the time, reflecting upon the spiritual and emotional foundations that transform a house into a home. Osgood's writing is imbued with a pastoral concern for the wellbeing of family units, the moral fabric of the household, and the broader implications of home life on society at large. His commitment to exploring the virtue of hearth and home offers a window into the mid-Victorian era values and the cultural milieu of American cities during this period. A graduate of Harvard University and a devout Unitarian minister, Osgood was highly respected in literary circles for his eloquent discourses and sermons, which contributed to the intellectual and moral discourse of his time. His other literary contributions, albeit lesser-known, continue to be valued for their scholarly merits and their enduring insights into 19th-century American life.
