Autoren-Porträt von Grant Allen
Grant Allen (February 24, 1848 - October 25, 1899) was a notable figure in the literary and scientific realms of the late 19th century. Born in Kingston, Ontario, to Anglo-Irish parents, Allen displayed an affinity for academia from a young age. He was educated at home before attending King Edward's School in Birmingham and later earning a degree from Merton College, Oxford. His early fascination with the natural sciences fused with literature when he embarked on a writing career that spanned scientific texts, novels, and essays. Allen's work often reflected a keen scientific understanding, paired with a critique of Victorian society and its values. One such work, 'Colin Clout's Calendar: The Record of a Summer, April-October,' is a reflection of his observational skills and his ability to bring the details of the natural world to the page with prose that captured the essence of England's rural landscapes. Allen's prolific writing career included both fiction and non-fiction, with famous titles such as 'The Evolution of the Idea of God' and the novel 'The Woman Who Did,' which contributed to the New Woman literary genre and provided commentary on social dynamics. His literary style, renowned for blending education with entertainment, made him a respected and influential voice at the turn of the century. Allen's legacy remains in the exploration of themes ahead of his time and his contribution to the integration of scientific thought into popular literature.
