Harold Frederic

March Hares (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This 1896 romance was termed "an exquisite London idyll" by Willa Cather. Originally the novel was published under the pseudonym of George Forth, perhaps because it eschewed the realism of Frederic's simultaneously published The Damnation of Theron Ware. Set in London, the characters of March Hares are in no way tied to reality; besides their need for food, their demeanor and actions come across as insane and disembodied.

Harold Frederic was an American author and reporter who was born August 19, 1856, and died October 19, 1898. In the Valley (1890), The Damnation of Theron Ware (1896), and The Market Place (1899) are some of his works. Frederick Harold was born on August 19, 1856, in Utica, New York. His parents were Presbyterian. He went to the Methodist church, but he wasn't sure about faith in general. Frederic became interested in photography and writing early on. When Frederic was 18 months old, his father died in a train accident. His mother raised him most of the time after that. He finished school when he was fifteen years old and started working as a photographer right away. At home and in Boston, he worked as a picture touch-up artist for four years. He started working as a checker for The Utica Herald and then The Utica Daily Observer in 1875. Frederic went on to work as a writer. He got married to Grace Green Williams in 1877 and had five kids with her. In 1882, he was in charge of The Albany Evening Journal, a newspaper in the state capital of New York.
