Autorenporträt

Edward Payson Roe (1838-1888) was an American novelist and Presbyterian pastor, known for his works of fiction that melded his pastoral experience with storytelling. His literary career bloomed in the post-Civil War era, offering readers a blend of moral earnestness and cultural commentary, often infused with Christian values. One of his notable works is 'He Fell in Love with His Wife' (1886), a novel that encapsulates Roe's knack for exploring the complexities of love and the redemptive possibilities of human relationships. Roe's novels often focused on themes of personal integrity, rural life, and the tension between nature and industrialization. His narrative style was characterized by sentimentality and a didactic tone, with 'He Fell in Love with His Wife' being emblematic of Roe's approach to character-driven plots that sought to influence and reflect societal mores of his time. Roe's work remained popular into the early 20th century, resonating with an audience that valued moral instruction intertwined with entertainment. His literary contributions reflect an era of American literature where the novel served as both a source of enjoyment and a vehicle for ethical discourse.
