Autorenporträt

John Burroughs (April 3, 1837 - March 29, 1921) was an American naturalist and nature essayist, active in the conservation movement in the United States. The first of his essay collections was Wake-Robin in 1871. In the words of his biographer Edward Renehan, Burroughs' special identity was less that of a scientific naturalist than that of "a literary naturalist with a duty to record his own unique perceptions of the natural world." The result was a body of work whose resonance with the tone of its cultural moment explains both its popularity at that time and its relative obscurity since. Many of Burroughs' essays first appeared in popular magazines. He is best known for his observations on birds, flowers, and rural scenes, but his essay topics also range from religion, philosophy, and literature.
