Autorenporträt
Sir Hugh Seymour Walpole, born on 13 March 1884 in Auckland, New Zealand, was an English novelist whose prolific writings secured his place in the first half of the 20th-century literary canon. With a narrative style characterized by vivid characterization and an acute sense of period and setting, Walpole delighted audiences with his works, most notably with 'The Gods and Mr. Perrin' - a novel that dissects the solitude and tribulations of a schoolteacher in a small English public school, reflecting on the human spirit's resilience against depression and disaffection. This particular book, published in 1911, serves as an excellent example of Walpole's keen psychological insights and narrative competence. Educated at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, Walpole followed his literary passions, carving out a career that spanned more than 30 novels, in addition to numerous plays and short stories. His other notable works include the 'Herries Chronicle', a saga that chronicles the life of an English family over two centuries, providing a portrait of the social and historical developments in the Lake District. Walpole's ability to capture the zeitgeist of the Edwardian era and the ensuing decades made him an essential bridge between the Victorian literary tradition and modernism. Knighted in 1937, Hugh Walpole's contribution to English literature endures through his exploration of human psychology, social mores, and the enduring quest for personal contentment and societal acceptance.
