Autorenporträt
Rev. Samuel Reynolds Hole (1819-1904) was a well-regarded English clergyman and horticulturist, remembered for his contributions to both ecclesiastical writings and literature on gardening. His literary charm is well captured in his travelogue 'A Little Tour in Ireland' (1859), which remains a delightful reflection of nineteenth-century Ireland, noted for its wit and engaging narration (Hole, 1859). His prose is characterized by an anecdotal and personable style, which endeared him to a wide readership of his time. Hole's travels through Ireland offered insights into the culture, landscapes, and social circumstances of the Irish people during a period of significant historical interest. His observations were marked by an affectionate humor and an attention to detail, traits that distinguished him among travel writers of the Victorian era. In addition to his travel writings, Hole was also known for his considerable contributions to the field of horticulture, penning numerous texts on the subject and notably serving as the Dean of Rochester and the founder of the National Rose Society. His literary and horticultural pursuits reflected a deep admiration for natural beauty and a commitment to sharing this appreciation with others.
