Autorenporträt
Thomas Wentworth Higginson (December 22, 1823 – May 9, 1911) was a prominent American minister, writer, abolitionist, and soldier. He is perhaps best remembered as a correspondent and mentor to poet Emily Dickinson and for his contributions to American literature as a prolific writer and critic. Drawing from his diverse experiences as a social reformer and Civil War colonel, Higginson's literary works often reflect his commitment to the abolition of slavery and gender equality. Among his numerous publications, 'Malbone: An Oldport Romance' (1869), presents a penetrating exploration of morality and transcendentalist ideals in the microcosm of Oldport society. His narrative style, often marked by a blend of romantic prose and intellectual rigor, offers readers an insight into the sociopolitical issues of his era. Higginson's writings were instrumental in capturing the complex tapestry of American culture during the 19th century while advocating for progressive causes. His life and literary accomplishments continue to garner scholarly interest for their historical significance and their role in shaping American thought and civil rights activism.
