Autoren-Porträt von Grant Allen
Grant Allen (1848-1899) was a prolific Canadian science writer, author, and novelist known for his progressive views and his promotion of Darwinian evolution. Born in Kingston, Ontario, he was educated at home and later in France, before graduating from Merton College, Oxford. Allen's early interest in science and natural history paved the way for his writing career. He is perhaps best known for 'Flashlights on Nature' (1899), where he illuminates the wonders of the natural world through a series of engaging and accessible essays. Allen's approach to nature writing is both educational and entertaining, demonstrating his knack for translating complex scientific ideas into relatable concepts for the general public. Beyond natural history, he wrote on a wide range of topics including sociology, and was considered a pioneer in science fiction, with titles such as 'The British Barbarians' (1895) reflecting his broader interests. Despite his varied portfolio, Allen's literary style is consistently marked by vivid detail and a dedication to empirical observation. As a figure within the literary scene of the late Victorian era, his work contributed to the spread of scientific literacy and encouraged public engagement with the process of discovery inherent in the scientific method. Allen passed away at the age of 51, after which his literary contributions continued to influence the realms of both science writing and fiction.
