Autorenporträt
Alfred Henry Lewis (1857–1914) was an American journalist, lawyer, novelist, and short story writer, known for his unique blend of Western tales and contemporary social critique. His literary career was marked by a keen interest in the American West frontier life, which is vividly depicted in his works. 'Wolfville Nights' is one of Lewis's notable books that wittily portrays the life and characters of a frontier town named Wolfville. This 1902 collection of tales is reflective of Lewis's characteristic narrative style, which often combined sharp humor with an eye for revealing the underlying truths about human nature and society. His writing tended to spotlight the moral ambiguities of law, order, and civilization, set against the untamed backdrop of the American West. Lewis's works not only entertained readers with their colorful depictions of Western life but also offered insights into the complexities of a rapidly changing American society at the turn of the 20th century. His storytelling prowess solidified his place as an important contributor to the genre of Western literature at a time when the American public was fascinated with the romance and realities of frontier life.
