Autoren-Porträt von Grant Allen
Grant Allen, born Charles Grant Blairfindie Allen on February 24, 1848, in Alwington, Canada West (now Ontario), was a notable figure in the 19th-century literary world. Educated at home, and later at King Edward's School in Birmingham and Merton College, Oxford, he earned a first-class degree in classics. Allen's diverse interests led him to a varied career - biology lecturer, anthropologist, scientific writer, and innovator in the field of science fiction (Bleiler, 1990). A prolific writer, he was known for his controversial views on religion and his progressive stands on social issues, including women's rights (Collins, 1986). Allen's literary output includes 'The Woman Who Did' (1895), advocating social reform and women's independence, which remains a notable work in feminist literature. His keen intellect and insightful observations were not limited to social commentary; Allen's fascination with science and nature manifested in various publications. His science fiction, such as the novel 'The British Barbarians' (1895), was characterized by a Darwinian perspective, anticipating the genre's later evolution. One of Allen's lesser-known yet profound works was 'Ivan Greet's Masterpiece' (1893), a tale that reflects Allen's intricate narrative style and his acumen in exploring the complex interplay between art, society, and personal integrity. Grant Allen's contribution to the speculative fiction genre and his critical engagement with sociocultural issues of his time render him an influential but often underrecognized figure in Victorian literature. He passed away on October 25, 1899, leaving behind a legacy of intellectual challenge and literary innovation (Clodd, 1900).
