Autorenporträt
Arthur Applin (died 1949) was a British playwright, novelist, and biographer, best known for his work during the early 20th century. His literary oeuvre includes a wide range of genres, but he was particularly noted for his contributions to war literature and biographies of prominent military figures, encapsulated by his work 'Admiral Jellicoe' which eulogizes the life and career of Royal Navy officer John Jellicoe. Applin's writings exhibit a rich narrative style that combines factual military history with a deeply personal account, exploring the complexities and honors of military leadership during turbulent times.
