Autorenporträt
Stephen Vincent Benet was an American poet, short story writer, and novelist whose work left a lasting impression on 20th-century American literature. Born in 1898 in Pennsylvania, he came from a literary family and began writing at an early age. He gained national recognition for his book-length narrative poem John Brown's Body, which explored the American Civil War and earned him the Pulitzer Prize in 1929. His writing often reflected deep historical awareness and a strong sense of national identity, blending poetic form with powerful storytelling. In addition to poetry, he was known for his short stories, including The Devil and Daniel Webster, which became widely popular for its imaginative retelling of American folklore. His work spanned multiple genres, often focusing on themes of justice, patriotism, and the moral complexities of American life. He was married to fellow writer Rosemary Carr Benet, and the two shared a literary partnership until his early death in 1943 at the age of 44. His legacy continues through his impactful body of work and his contribution to shaping American cultural narratives.
