Autorenporträt
John Stevens Cabot Abbott (1805-1877) was an American historian and prolific author, particularly known for writing biographies and histories that gained considerable popularity in the mid-19th century. Born in Brunswick, Maine, Abbott graduated from Bowdoin College in 1825 and proceeded to study at Andover Theological Seminary. Turning to literature, with an emphasis on didactic and moralistic themes, Abbott published extensively, leaving a lasting imprint on American historiography and biography literature of his time. His narrative style, characterized by an engaging prose, aimed to present historical events and figures in a light that was both educational and entertaining, appealing to a broad audience. Among his notable works, 'History of the Habsburg Empire' stands out as a comprehensive account of one of Europe's most influential royal dynasties. While modern scholarship might critique his lack of analytical rigor, Abbott's books—including 'The History of Napoleon Bonaparte', 'The History of the Civil War in America', and 'The History of Frederick the Second, Called Frederick the Great'—serve as a testament to his dedication and penchant for storytelling that could captivate readers far beyond his own time. Abbott's contribution to popular historical literature of the 19th century remains significant, reflecting the zeitgeist of the American public during an era of rapid national expansion and evolving national identity.
