Autorenporträt
Irvin Shrewsbury Cobb (1876-1944) was an American author, humorist, and columnist who gained fame through his distinct literary contributions that captured the humor and colloquial speech of the South. Born in Paducah, Kentucky, Cobb's southern upbringing significantly influenced his writing style and subject matter. A prolific writer, Cobb started his career as a newspaper journalist before venturing into writing short stories and novels, which often reflected his keen observation of life and his ability to portray characters with warmth and humor. His book 'A Plea for Old Cap Collier' is a notable example of his work that delves into the nostalgic appeal for the dime novels of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and offers a humorous defense of the genre's literary value. Cobb's storytelling prowess is characterized by a mix of satire and sentimentality, a combination that won him a broad readership during his lifetime. His stories were so popular that several were adapted into films, further cementing his place in American literature. Beyond his printed works, Cobb's contributions to literary discourse through his lectures and essays also underscore his status as a prominent figure in early 20th-century American letters.
