Autorenporträt
Frederic William Farrar (1831-1903) was an English clergyman, schoolmaster, and author, whose literary contributions reflect an earnest attempt to weave moral and ethical themes into engaging narratives for young audiences. His writing is characterized by Victorian sentiments and an emphasis on Christian morality, often integrated into tales of personal development and the trials of youth. Farrar's influence peaked through his most famous novel, 'Eric, or Little by Little' (1858), a cautionary tale that illustrates the consequences of gradual moral decline. The book became a seminal work in school stories, a genre popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and it was instrumental in the propagation of the Victorian 'muscular Christianity' movement. As a testament to his standing, Farrar was appointed a canon of Westminster Abbey and later, the Dean of Canterbury. His extensive literary output includes several works that remained popular educational tools for decades, reinforcing Victorian ideals of character and the importance of spiritual integrity. Beyond his fiction, Farrar was also noted for his scholarly works, including his Life of Christ, which further cemented his reputation as an influential religious writer of the Victorian era. His contributions to literature and theology continue to be subjects of study for their historical and cultural significance within Victorian society.
