Autorenporträt
T. W. H. Crosland (1865-1924) was a quintessentially English writer and poet, known for his satirical wit and pungent social commentary. An Edwardian author and journalist, Crosland contributed to the era's cultural landscape with a sardonic pen. He often engaged in literary battles, the most notable being his skirmish with the aesthete Oscar Wilde. Crosland's work in 'The Egregious English' is a testimonial to his mastery of the English language, serving as a humorous yet incisive reflection on linguistic misuse. In this oeuvre, his prosaic finesse is palpable, as he navigates through the eccentricities and idiosyncrasies of his mother tongue with a blend of derision and fondness. His writing style is eclectic, ranging from trenchant social critique to playful linguistic gymnastics, earning him a place among the noteworthy commentators of the English language and its societal implications. Though his work is less renowned today, contemporary literary scholars often regard Crosland as an embodiment of Edwardian satire, exemplifying the period's intellectual vibrancy through his sharp prose and acerbic observations.
