Autorenporträt
Thomas Bailey Aldrich (1836-1907) was an American poet, novelist, and editor, known for his contributions to American literature during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Aldrich began his career as a journalist and published his first book of poetry, ""The Bells"" and Other Poems, in 1855 at the age of 19. Aldrich's literary style is characterized by its lyrical elegance and romantic sensibility, often reflecting themes of nostalgia, beauty, and the passage of time. He was influenced by both American and European literary traditions, and his work often explored themes of memory, nature, and the human experience. In addition to poetry, Aldrich wrote several novels, including ""The Story of a Bad Boy"" (1870), which remains one of his most popular works. This semi-autobiographical novel is considered a classic of American literature for its portrayal of childhood and coming-of-age experiences. Aldrich also had a successful career as an editor, working for prominent publications such as ""The Atlantic Monthly"" and ""Harper's Magazine.""

Throughout his life, Aldrich maintained a strong connection to New England, often drawing inspiration from its landscapes and cultural heritage. His poetry and prose continue to be admired for their craftsmanship, evocative imagery, and enduring themes. Thomas Bailey Aldrich passed away in 1907, leaving behind a legacy of literary achievement that continues to be celebrated in American literature.
