Autorenporträt
Edgar Wallace (1875-1932) was an English writer, journalist, and playwright, whose prolific literary career left a significant mark on the crime and thriller genres. Born into poverty as Richard Horatio Edgar Wallace, he rose to become one of the most widely read authors of his era. Wallace's early career in the British Army led to a secondary occupation as a correspondent, which honed his incisive writing style. He transitioned to full-time writing, producing a vast array of novels, plays, and journalism pieces. One of his notable works, 'The Law of the Four Just Men' (1905), epitomizes Wallace's adept mastery in combining suspense with a strong sense of justice, revolving around vigilantes who mete out retribution when the law falls short. This book introduced the powerful 'Four Just Men' theme, which spawned several sequels, earning a dedicated fan base and influencing future writers in the crime thriller genre. Wallace's legacy includes over 170 novels, 18 stage plays, and numerous articles. His propulsive plotlines and engaging characters, although sometimes criticized for not overly emphasizing character depth, have been celebrated for their entertainment value and dramatic crescendos. His literary style, characterized by fast pacing and cliffhangers, was seminal in laying the groundwork for modern crime storytelling. Wallace's contribution to popular fiction, especially the crime thriller genre, remains enduringly resonant, as evidenced by the continued popularity of his works and their adaptations in various media.
