Autorenporträt
Walter Lionel George (1882–1926) was an English writer and intellectual, best known for his contributions to early 20th-century feminist literature and his social commentaries. Born in Paris to a British mother and French father, George's multinational background influenced his literary perspective, enabling him to blend different cultural insights into his work. He penned the book 'Anatole France' as part of his significant oeuvre, which studied the life and literary contributions of the eponymous French poet, journalist, and novelist. In 'Anatole France', George not only provided a critique but also offered admirers of France's work an in-depth examination of the writer's stylistic nuances and thematic preoccupations. George's literary style often combined a sharp wit with incisive social critique, a characteristic that won him a place amongst the noteworthy intellectuals of his time. George's feminist novel 'A Bed of Roses' (1911) is one of his most acclaimed works, wherein he tackled the complexities and challenges faced by women in pursuit of independence and fulfillment in a patriarchal society. His other books like 'The City of Light' (1926) address the cultural and social dynamics of contemporary urban life. Despite his relatively short life, George's broad literary repertoire had a lasting impact on the social and literary landscape of the early 20th century, reflecting issues of sexuality, gender equality, and social reform that were ahead of his time (Stringer & Sutherland, 1996).
