Autorenporträt
Edward Payson Roe (1838-1888) was a distinguished American novelist and clergyman known for his works that intertwine morality with storytelling, a reflection of his background in theology. Born in Moodna, New York, Roe was notably influenced by the Protestant work ethic and American rural life, which permeate his literary style. Following his education at Williams College and Auburn Theological Seminary, Roe served as a chaplain during the American Civil War. This experience impacted his worldview and subsequently his writings. Despite initially pursuing a career in the ministry, Roe transitioned to literature, where he gained significant popularity in the late 19th century. His book 'Without a Home' is a poignant example of his narrative craft and thematic concern with social issues, homelessness, and the struggles of the downtrodden. Roe's storytelling was marked by vivid characters and plots that not only entertained but also promoted virtuous living. His pastoral background is evident in his writings, which often explore ethical dilemmas and advocate for Christian morality. Roe's body of work contributed to the literary landscape of his time and served as a moral compass for many of his readers. Despite being less known today, his literary contributions remain a testament to the era's cultural and social values.
