Autorenporträt
Lewis Melville, a prolific British novelist and biographer, is well-known for his perceptive works on historical subjects. His opus, "Farmer George," is divided into two volumes-Vol. I and Vol. II-and provides a complete account of King George III's life and reign, commonly known as Farmer George. In "Farmer George Vol. I," Melville brilliantly depicts George III's early years, following his rise to the throne, family dynamics, and the problems he encountered during a turbulent moment in British history. Melville's narrative approach blends historical accuracy with a gift for storytelling, making the biography both educational and entertaining. Melville continues the tale in "Farmer George Vol. II," exploring the latter years of King George III's reign, presenting a detailed depiction of the monarch's psychological troubles as well as the political scene of the time. The epithet "Farmer George" refers to the king's personal hobbies, particularly his fondness for agriculture and rural pursuits. Melville's rigorous research and colorful words bring George III's persona and sociopolitical background to life. The biographical book extends beyond the typical limitations of historical writing, providing readers with a thorough insight of the man behind the crown.
