Autorenporträt
Robert Hichens (1864-1950) was a versatile British author and journalist, best known for his work in the Gothic and supernatural fiction genres. Born in Speldhurst, Kent, Hichens initially studied music before turning to writing, a field where he would leave a lasting mark. He gained early fame with his novel "The Green Carnation" (1894), a satire that drew attention for its thinly veiled portrayal of prominent figures in British society. Hichens's literary career spanned several decades, during which he explored a variety of themes, but he is particularly remembered for his contributions to supernatural and horror fiction. His works often delve into psychological drama, blending the eerie and the mysterious with profound character studies. "The Return of the Soul," one of his notable works, exemplifies his skill in creating atmospheric and suspenseful narratives that engage readers on multiple levels. Aside from his fiction, Hichens was also a successful journalist, traveling extensively and drawing upon his experiences in his writing. His ability to capture the uncanny and the supernatural, while also providing deep psychological insight, has secured his place as a significant figure in British literature, particularly within the Gothic and horror traditions.
