Autorenporträt
Marmaduke William Pickthall (1875–1936) was a Western Islamic scholar noted for his English translation of the Qur'an and a novelist who made significant contributions to English literature in the early 20th century. He was born in London to an Anglican clergyman, and his exposure to various cultures during his travels, particularly to the Middle East, strongly influenced his later works. Pickthall converted to Islam in 1917 and adopted the name Muhammad Marmaduke, pledging his literary talents to the service of his adopted faith (Pickthall, 1930). His novel 'Veiled Women' highlights the intricate cultural dynamics of the Middle East and reflects his insights into Islamic society, carved through his unique position as a British convert. Pickthall's literary style is characterized by an empathetic portrayal of Eastern characters and an authentic representation of Muslim culture and traditions, distinguishing him from many Orientalist writers of his time. His dedication to fostering understanding between Western and Islamic cultures was evident in his nuanced and respectful narrative voice, as well as in his scholarly works that aimed to bridge the cultural divide (Pickthall, 1913). 'Veiled Women' along with his other literary contributions and his prominent translation of the Qur'an, affirm Pickthall's standing as a pivotal figure in bringing a deeper knowledge of Islam to the English-speaking world.
