Autorenporträt
Born in Middlesborough, England, author, poet, and journalist Ernest William Hornung (1866–1921) moved to Australia at 17, having suffered from ill health most of his life, in the hopes that his constitution might benefit from the change in climate. Although he only lived there for two years, his experiences there put him on the path of becoming a writer and would inspire his work for years to come, not least A Bride from the Bush (1890), his first novel. Hornung had developed an interest in urban crime and criminal behaviour while working as a journalist during the Jack the Ripper murders, which would permeate his fiction, most notably in the form of Hornung’s most famous character, A.J. Raffles, gentleman thief. Judith John (glossary) is a writer and editor specializing in literature and history.
