Autorenporträt
Theodore Watts-Dunton, an English critic and novelist, was born on October 12, 1832, in St Ives, Huntingdonshire, and he passed away on June 6, 1914. Although better known for his critique and literary friendships, Watts-Dunton also made significant contributions to English fiction with his novel 'Aylwin'. The book, first published in 1898, is a reflection of his eclectic literary tastes and his interest in the interplay between the mystical and the romantic. It combines elements of the supernatural with a profound exploration of human psychology, entwining themes of love, art, and spiritualism that appealed to the late Victorian sensibilities of his readers. As a critic, Watts-Dunton was affiliated with the 'Athenaeum' magazine, where his literary opinion helped shape the tastes of the reading public. His prose style in 'Aylwin' is characterized by its rich and intricate layering, demonstrating his adroitness at weaving complex narratives. Besides his contribution to literature, Watts-Dunton is also revered for his friendship with the poet Algernon Charles Swinburne, whom he famously rescued from physical decline and possible destitution. In memory of their friendship, Swinburne's personal library still stands at Watts-Dunton's former residence in Putney. Despite being less celebrated today, Watts-Dunton's romantic and intellectual legacy remains encapsulated within 'Aylwin', a testament to his refined artistic sensibilities and insightful cultural commentary.
