Autorenporträt
Sabine Baring-Gould (1834–1924) was an English hagiographer, antiquarian, novelist, and eclectic scholar. His literary career encompassed several genres, but he is often most remembered for his work in folklore and his contributions to hymnology, penning the words for the hymn 'Onward, Christian Soldiers.' Baring-Gould's scholarly endeavors also led him to explore the history and traditions of English life, captured astutely in 'An Old English Home and Its Dependencies,' where he examines the domestic culture and its nuances of an era long past. He tended to embed his narratives with rich historical detail, reflections of his extensive travels, and his studies as an Oxford-educated clergyman. His collection encompasses a multitude of other titles, including 'The Book of Werewolves' and 'Curious Myths of the Middle Ages,' illustrating his fascination with the esoteric and the historical. His literary style combines a pastoral sentimentality with an earnest pursuit of historical authenticity, an amalgamation that provides readers with comprehensive insights into the periods he depicts. Prolific throughout his long life, Baring-Gould's breadth of knowledge and storytelling prowess has left an indelible mark on the canon of 19th century British literature.
