Autorenporträt
Andrew Lang (1844-1912) was a prolific Scottish writer and poet known for his work as a collector of folk and fairy tales. As one of the most versatile authors of his time, Lang's publications include works on anthropology, history, literary criticism, as well as translations and children's literature. His contribution to classical studies is significant, with works such as 'The Iliad & The Odyssey', in which he not only offered translated versions but also penned the insightful 'Homer and His Age', reflecting on the historical context of these enduring epics. Lang's literary style is characterized by a clear and engaging narrative, ensuring that complex topics were accessible to a broad audience. He was a pioneer in the field of comparative folklore and a key figure in the second wave of the Romantic movement, where he sought to preserve the traditional stories that he feared would be lost in the wake of modernization. Across his numerous essays, poems, and novels, Lang's adroit use of language and scholarly rigour cement him as a significant figure in Victorian literature and beyond.
