Autorenporträt
Gilbert Abbott À Beckett (1811-1856) was a distinguished English humorist and writer, renowned for his contributions to the satirical and comedic literature of the 19th century. He completed his education at Westminster School and later proceeded to study law at St John's College, Cambridge. Despite his legal training, À Beckett's passion for writing prevailed, and he became a prominent figure in the literary circles of his time. His work is characteristically marked by a sharp wit and a penchant for social and political satire. One of his most celebrated works is 'The Comic History of Rome' (1852), in which À Beckett offers a humorous retelling of Roman history, blending facts with a comedic narrative that both entertains and educates its readers. His writing style in this historical parody is characterized by an irreverent tone, which was typical of the Punch magazine pieces he often contributed to. As a co-founder of the latter, his influence extended beyond his books, shaping the nature of British humor during the Victorian era. À Beckett's literary legacy also includes several plays, a wide range of journalistic pieces, and other humorous works, which continue to be acknowledged for their insight and historical significance in the tradition of English satire and comedy.
