Autorenporträt
Harold Frederic (1856-1898) was an American journalist, editor, and prolific novelist, renowned for his keen observation of society and insightful portrayals of contemporary life. Frederic was born in Utica, New York, and began his career as a journalist, before venturing into the realm of fiction with works that often centered on the themes of rural American life and the conflicts between traditional values and modernity. His literary style is distinguished by its realism and narrative fluency, earning him a place among the noteworthy writers of the late 19th century. One of Frederic's historical works, 'The Young Emperor, William II of Germany' (1891), scrutinizes the early reign of the last German Emperor and King of Prussia. The book delves into the ambitions, policies, and personality of William II, reflecting Frederic's fascination with European politics and his skill in biographical portrayal. Although it is not his most famous work, it exemplifies Frederic's range as an author and his ability to dissect complex historical figures. Frederic's most acclaimed novel, 'The Damnation of Theron Ware' (1896), demonstrates his narrative prowess and remains a significant contribution to American literary realism. Throughout his career, Frederic's works have captivated readers and critics alike, providing insightful criticisms of society through his compelling storytelling and character development.
