Autorenporträt
John Fox Jr. (1862–1919) was an American novelist famous for his depiction of life in the Appalachian region of the United States. Born in Stony Point, Kentucky, Fox studied at Harvard University before becoming a journalist and later a prolific author. His experiences living in the mountainous areas of Kentucky greatly influenced his writing, leading him to publish works that offered readers a glimpse into the culture and struggles of the Appalachian people. His literary style is characterized by a blend of regional realism and romanticism, often focusing on themes of love, honor, and social upheaval. One of Fox's most beloved works is 'The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come' (1903), which is set against the backdrop of the American Civil War. This novel, which reflects Fox's intimate knowledge of the Kentucky highlands, tells the story of an orphan boy caught between the loyalty to his Southern roots and the growing divide leading to war. It remains a seminal piece showcasing Fox's acute sensitivity to the complexities of loyalty and identity in a torn nation. 'The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come' was popular in its time and continues to be studied for its cultural and historical significance. Fox's contribution to American literature is preserved through his vivid portrayal of the Appalachian people and his nuanced consideration of their societal dynamics.
