Autorenporträt

Alfred Edward Woodley Mason, commonly known as A. E. W. Mason (1865-1948), was an English author and politician best known for his classic adventure novel 'The Four Feathers' (1902). A prolific writer, Mason dabbled in various genres, with a literary career that ranged from historical romance to mysteries and even espionage thrillers. Before embarking on his writing career, Mason attended Dulwich College and later graduated from Trinity College, Oxford. His early work, 'Lawrence Clavering' (1897), showcased Mason's emerging talent in crafting intricate plots woven with suspense. His narrative style often integrated his keen interest in foreign lands and historical events, which perhaps stemmed from his involvement in politics; he served as a Member of Parliament for Coventry from 1906 to 1910. A distinct feature of Mason's literary style is his ability to imbue his protagonists with a sense of honor and duty against challenging moral dilemmas, effectively exploring the themes of bravery and human character under duress. Mason's contribution to literature encompasses over thirty novels, and his works remain a testament to his storytelling prowess, captivating readers with their vivid detail and gripping narratives.
