Autorenporträt

Meredith Nicholson (1866-1947) was an eminent American novelist and diplomat hailing from the Hoosier state of Indiana. Born in Crawfordsville, he grew up in a time post-Civil War where he witnessed the transformation of American society. Nicholson's literary career blossomed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a period known as the Golden Age of Indiana literature. As a leading figure in this milieu, he shared the limelight with contemporaries like Booth Tarkington and James Whitcomb Riley. His narrative style embraced romance and mystery, often painting a vivid picture of the Midwestern ethos and gentrified society. 'Lady Larkspur' (1919) endorses his penchant for creating strong-willed characters and a riveting plot that explores themes of identity and aspiration amidst a changing societal landscape. Nicholson's contributions extend beyond his authorship as he transitioned into public service, becoming a respected U.S. envoy to various South American countries. The interplay of his diplomatic insights and literary mastery enhances the depth of his characters, making his work resonate with both national pride and an understanding of human nature. Over his lifetime, Nicholson penned an array of works that have cemented his legacy as a luminary of American literature.
