Autoren-Porträt von E. W. Hornung
Ernest William Hornung, known as E. W. Hornung (1866-1921), was an English author and poet best recognized for his creation of the literary character A.J. Raffles, a gentleman thief in late Victorian London. Born in Middlesbrough, England, Hornung spent much of his early life in education before settling on a writing career. Drawing from his time in Australia during his youth, Hornung infused his work with a colonial perspective that offered a unique voice in the literary world of his time.Author of novels such as 'Tiny Luttrell' (1893), Hornung showcased his versatility as a writer, featuring both male and female protagonists in an era where female-led narratives were less common. The book, while not as famous as his Raffles series, highlights his ability to create complex characters and explore societal themes. Hornung's literary style often involves intricate plots and well-developed characters, alongside a distinctively dry wit. Aside from his detective fiction, Hornung wrote numerous other novels, short stories, and poems, earning respect in the literary circles of his time.
