Autorenporträt
Holman Day (1865–1935) was an American author, poet, and filmmaker whose literary efforts depicted the quintessential elements of New England life, particularly in his home state of Maine. Day's career spanned the realms of journalism, literature, and film, often intertwining his keen observation of rural Maine with a flair for drama and regional humor. His novel 'The Ramrodders' is a testament to his adept storytelling, capturing the dynamics of early 20th-century forestry industries with a distinctively American spirit. Born in Vassalboro, Maine, Day's intimate relationship with the Pine Tree State suffuses his work. His literary style often utilizes local dialects and a deep understanding of the communities he portrays, offering readers authentic depictions of the people and landscapes of New England. In addition to 'The Ramrodders,' Day authored several other books, including 'King Spruce, A Novel of the North Country' and 'Squire Phin,' which further exemplify his contribution to regional literature. His prolific output and dedication to capturing the essence of Maine's culture cement his place as a significant regional writer whose work offers a window into a bygone era of American life.
