Autorenporträt
Charles Wentworth Upham (1802-1875) was a significant figure in 19th-century American literature, particularly known for his historical works on the Salem witch trials. As a native of St. Johnsbury, Vermont, and later a resident of Salem, Massachusetts, Upham had a personal connection to the region's history. He graduated from Harvard College in 1821 and Harvard Divinity School in 1824, beginning his career as a Unitarian minister before transitioning into politics as a member of the Massachusetts State Legislature and subsequently serving as Mayor of Salem and a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. Upham's scholarly pursuits led him to delve deep into the history of Salem and its infamous witch trials of 1692. His magnum opus, 'Salem Witchcraft, Volumes I and II,' published in 1867, stands as an exhaustive historical account of this dark chapter in American colonial history. In his work, Upham thoroughly examines the societal conditions, individual biographies, and legal proceedings of the time, offering readers a meticulously detailed narrative infused with his 19th-century Unitarian sensibilities. His literary style, marked by the precise detailing and moral didacticism common to the period, reflects both his clerical background and his dedication to historical accuracy and the edification of his readership.
