Autorenporträt
William Ernest Henley (1849-1903) was a distinguished English poet, critic, and editor, known for his influence on English literature during the late Victorian era. Henley battled with tuberculosis of the bone from an early age, leading to the amputation of one of his legs. These personal struggles imbued his poetic works with a distinctive blend of defiant courage and existential contemplation, culminating in his most famous poem 'Invictus,' which was not included in the referenced 'Hawthorn and Lavender, with Other Verses.' This collection, published in 1901, typifies Henley's lyrical mastery and his penchant for exploring themes of beauty and nature intertwined with human emotions. His literary style often involved the use of vivid imagery, rhythmic innovation, and an unyielding spirit, features that defined the late Victorian period's transition towards Modernism. Henley's work extended beyond poetry as he was also a respected critic, contributing extensively to the field of literary reviews. Moreover, as an editor, he played a significant role in shaping the careers of other writers, including Rudyard Kipling, with whom he shared a friendship. Henley's stylistic influence and contribution to literature were recognized during his lifetime, and he continues to be regarded as a pivotal figure in the panorama of English literature.
