Autorenporträt
Frederic George Kitton (1856-1904) was an English author and illustrator known for his scholarly works on the life and creations of Charles Dickens. An ardent enthusiast of Dickensian literature, Kitton dedicated much of his career to the exploration of the environments and illustrators associated with Dickens' oeuvre. His in-depth research culminated in several influential texts, notable among them being 'Phiz' (Hablot Knight Browne), a Memoir, which chronicles the life and work of Dickens' most famous illustrator, Hablot Knight Browne, who illustrated under the pseudonym 'Phiz.' Kitton's biographical account of 'Phiz' is not only a commendation of the illustrator's talent but also a significant study in the field of Dickensian illustrations, contributing greatly to the Victorian literature canon and its appreciation. Kitton's style is meticulous and discerning, characteristic of the late Victorian literary scholastic pursuits, where attention to biographical detail and the context of artistic creation were paramount. His work is a vital resource for scholars and enthusiasts alike who seek to understand the visual dimension of Dickens' stories and the historical context of his illustrated publications. Kitton's other works reflect a similar diligence and resonate with his deep affinity for Charles Dickens and the era he so vividly depicted in his writings.
