Autorenporträt
Edgar Saltus (1855–1921) was an American writer known primarily for his highly stylized prose and themes often centered on the philosophy of decadence and aestheticism. Born into a wealthy New York family, Saltus attended Columbia College but instead of pursuing the legal career for which he had trained, he turned to literature. Influenced by the French Symbolists and writers such as Balzac and Flaubert, Saltus cultivated a reputation for his erudite and opulent style. His work spans a variety of genres, including biography, fiction, and social commentary, and it is marked by a fascination with the macabre and the decadent, evident in novels like 'The Philosophy of Disenchantment' and 'The Anatomy of Negation.' Of particular note is 'The Lords of the Ghostland: A History of the Ideal' (1907), a survey of world religions and philosophies presented with his characteristic flair for the dramatic and the paradoxical. Though his popularity waned in the 20th century, his work has enjoyed periodic revivals among scholars attuned to fin-de-siècle literature and the undercurrents of early modernist style. Saltus's contribution to American letters lies in his idiosyncratic blend of cynicism, elegance, and psychological insight.
