Autorenporträt
Charles Larcom Graves (1856-1944) was a distinguished English journalist and author, renowned for his wit and literary contributions. Born into an intellectually prosperous family—his father was an Irish bishop, and his brother, Alfred Perceval Graves, was a noted poet and songwriter—he was well-positioned for a life among the literati. Educated at Marlborough and Balliol College, Oxford, Graves went on to carve out a career in the realm of journalism, becoming an editor at the Pall Mall Gazette and later contributing to Punch, a revered magazine famed for its humor and satire. Charles L. Graves's literary style is characterized by a playful yet incisive use of language, as reflected in his book 'Lauds and Libels' which offers satirical poems that expertly skewer the social and political figures of his time. His work maintains a balance between light-hearted jest and piercing critique, encapsulating the essence of Edwardian satire. Despite the era-specific context of his writings, Graves's stylistic flair and pointed commentary have earned him a respected place in the canon of English letters, with 'Lauds and Libels' serving as a testament to his enduring wit and his capacity to distill the follies of his age into pithy, enduring literature.
