Autorenporträt
Edmund William Gosse (1849-1928) was an English poet, author, and critic, known particularly for his rich contributions to the world of literary criticism and for his incisive autobiographical works. Born into a strictly religious household, Gosse's early literary development and subsequent rebellion against his fundamentalist upbringing would form the backdrop for one of his most renowned books, 'Father and Son' (1907), a memoir that illustrates the conflict between dogmatic faith and the emerging scientific rationalism of the time. Gosse's prolific career as a man of letters encompassed not only his personal works but also his role as a leading literary critic of the late Victorian and early Edwardian periods. His book 'Some Diversions of a Man of Letters' serves as a fine example of his literary style-graceful, erudite, and often tinged with a gentle wit. This collection of essays reflects Gosse's wide-ranging intellect and his capacity to engage with the cultural and literary mores of his era, providing insights into the works of emerging and established literary figures while offering his readers a guided tour of the intellectual landscape of his time. Through his extensive writing and editorial work, Gosse became a key figure in shaping the conversations around literature as it transitioned into the modernist era, his voice a significant one in the narrative of English literary history.
