Autorenporträt
Lloyd Osbourne (1868–1947) was an American author of Scottish descent and a significant literary figure noted for his collaboration with his renowned stepfather, Robert Louis Stevenson. Born in San Francisco, Osbourne grew up under the literary influence of Stevenson, which contributed immensely to his development as a writer. His noteworthy contribution to literature includes his work on 'The Motormaniacs' (1905), an early exploration of the automobile's influence on society and a revelatory depiction of the burgeoning car culture of the early 20th century. Osbourne's literary style often encompassed elements of adventure and humor, resonating with the energetic and transformative period he lived in. Although 'The Motormaniacs' stands out amongst his works, Osbourne collaborated on several books with Stevenson, such as 'The Wrong Box' (1889) and 'The Ebb-Tide' (1894). His narratives are marked by vivid imagination and a descriptive flair that enlivens his settings and characters. Despite his compelling works, Osbourne's literary legacy is somewhat overshadowed by the stature of his stepfather, yet his contributions to the genre of early motor fiction and his role in the collaborative works are recognized by enthusiasts of the era's literature. His writings not only entertain but also serve as a window into the early 20th century's societal changes brought about by technological advancements.
