Autorenporträt
Sir Hugh Seymour Walpole was a prolific English writer, whose career spanned the early to mid-20th century, embracing a variety of genres including novels, short stories, and biographies. Born on March 13, 1884, in Auckland, New Zealand, he was the son of an Anglican clergyman, and his life transported him from New Zealand's shores to England, where he attended King's College, Cambridge. Walpole became a notable figure within literary circles, admired for his storytelling and narrative skills. 'The Silver Thorn: A Book of Stories' is one of his collections that showcase his penchant for the gothic and the fantastic intertwined with the psychological depth of his characters (Walpole, 1928). Walpole's literary style often mingled suspense with an examination of personal morality, set against the backdrop of the English landscape. His influence extended as a mentor to younger writers and as a wartime propagandist. While tastes in literature shifted following World War II, and Walpole's popularity waned, his work remains a testament to an era of transition within English literature, bridging the Victorian and Modernist sensibilities. Walpole was knighted for his services to literature in 1937 and left behind a legacy of over 40 novels, as well as plays and a biography of Sir Walter Scott, before his death on June 1, 1941.
