Autoren-Porträt von Clive Phillipps-Wolley, Rowland George Allanson-Winn Headley
Clive Phillipps-Wolley (1849-1918) was a British author, sportsman, and colonial administrator, recognized for his contributions to literature that often reflect the interests and concerns of the British Empire at the end of the 19th century. A multifaceted personality, Phillipps-Wolley was not just a writer but also an avid hunter and early advocate of physical fitness. His literary works frequently mirrored his passion for adventure and exploration, hallmarks of the period's imperial ethos. One of his notable works, 'Broad-Sword and Single-Stick' (1890), offers insights into historically relevant hand-to-hand combat techniques and reflects the Victorian fascination with martial prowess. The treatise serves both as a practical guide and a historical account of combat sports of the era, underlining Phillipps-Wolley's scholarly endeavors to preserve knowledge of traditional combat forms. His literary style is often marked by a detailed and instructional approach, indicative of his broader intellectual pursuits. Phillipps-Wolley's contribution to literature goes beyond simple tale-telling; his works embody a bridging of action-packed adventure and informative, practical education-a duality that aligns with the spirited ambitions of imperial Britain.
