Autorenporträt
Richard Harding Davis (1864-1916) was an influential American journalist and writer, known for both his fiction and non-fiction works that captured the zeitgeist of his time. Born in Philadelphia to parents who both had literary backgrounds, Davis was fated to pursue a life in literature. He attended Lehigh University and later Johns Hopkins University, but his true education came from the vibrant world of journalism. His early experience as a reporter and an editor at the Philadelphia Record and later the Philadelphia Press were pivotal in molding his literary style, which combined energetic storytelling with vivid descriptions (Cobbs, 1986). He served as a war correspondent during the Spanish-American War, the Greco-Turkish War, and World War I, reporting from the front lines with a sense of adventure and bravado that became a signature aspect of his narrative voice (Lubow, 1997). As an author, Davis is celebrated for novellas like 'The Messengers' which showcase his narrative prowess and deftly interwove his journalistic sharpness with the literary narrative, a blend that distinguished him amongst American authors of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His other notable works include 'Soldiers of Fortune' and 'Gallegher and Other Stories,' reflecting themes of romantic adventure and often highlighting the American spirit in foreign lands (Kaplan, 2011). Davis's work remains a cultural touchstone in understanding American literature and journalism at the turn of the century.
