Autorenporträt

Florence Howe Hall (1845-1922) was an American author and lecturer known for her literary works that often reflected her deep interest in history and patriotism. Born into a prominent family, she was the daughter of Dr. Samuel Gridley Howe and the poet and abolitionist Julia Ward Howe, famously known for penning the lyrics to 'The Battle Hymn of the Republic.' Florence was thus immersed in a culture of literature and social activism from a young age, which greatly influenced her writings and pursuits. Her eloquent prose style was showcased in her various works, including the well-received volume 'The Story of the Battle Hymn of the Republic' (1896), a book that intertwines the personal family narrative with the wider historical and cultural significance of her mother's iconic song. Hall's writings are characterized by their detailed research and engaging narrative style. Her scholarly approach to literature, coupled with her intimate association with the origins of the 'Battle Hymn,' gave her a unique vantage point to comment on American cultural and historical events. Hall's work remains a testament to her commitment to literary and historical scholarship, and her contributions offer valuable insights into the contextual backdrop against which the 'Battle Hymn of the Republic' was created and received by the American public.
