Autorenporträt

Edward Noyes Westcott (1846 - 1898) emerged as a prominent literary figure in the late 19th century through his most successful work, 'David Harum: A Story of American Life'. Although his life was cut short by illness at the age of 52, Westcott's legacy as an author rests on this single novel, which achieved posthumous fame when published in 1899, a year after his death. The novel, known for its engaging portrayal of a shrewd but kindhearted banker, exemplifies Westcott's adeptness at character study and his ability to capture the vernacular of his Upstate New York setting. The book enjoyed immense popularity, being adapted into a play and a film, and has often been considered a precursor to the 'local color' movement within American literature. 'The Christmas Story from David Harum' is a lesser-known work, which encapsulates Westcott's talent for storytelling and his insightful exploration of human nature and morality. A banker by profession, Westcott infuses his literary work with the astuteness and observant qualities likely honed in his career. Despite a brief writing career, Edward Noyes Westcott's David Harum remains an iconic character in American fiction, a testament to the durability of well-crafted regional literature in the country's cultural history.
