Autor

Maurice Hewlett (1861-1923) was a prolific English writer, known for his historical novels, poetry, and essays that mirrored his erudition and wit. Born in London, he was educated at the prestigious schools of Abingdon and the London International College. Hewlett's literary career began with the publication of his first book, 'The Forest Lovers' (1898), which established him as a romantic novelist of the historical genre. 'Rest Harrow: A Comedy of Resolution' (1910) is another notable work in his oeuvre, encapsulating his adeptness in blending pastoral narratives with elements of romantic idealism, a hallmark of his fiction. Hewlett's writing is characterized by his rich, descriptive prose and his ability to animate the past with vivid details and imaginative power. His literary style often included archaic language and a deep reverence for nature, both of which are evident in 'Rest Harrow'. Throughout his career, Hewlett's works remained popular for their escapist qualities and their evocation of bygone eras. He was not just a novelist but also contributed to periodicals of his time and had a stint as a Keeper of Manuscripts at the British Museum, which further enriched his historical understanding and informed his literary pursuits. Though his popularity waned after his death, Maurice Hewlett's contribution to early 20th-century literature remains a testament to his talent for bringing history to life through his storytelling.
