Autorenporträt
Charles Warren Stoddard was born on August 7, 1843, in Rochester, New York, and moved with his family to New York City during childhood before settling in San Francisco in 1855. He showed an early interest in writing, contributing his first verses anonymously to a local literary publication. Stoddard became known for his evocative travel writings, particularly his works about Polynesia, such as South-Sea Idyls, which captured the natural beauty and culture of the islands through vivid and sensitive portrayals. His journeys to the South Sea Islands deeply influenced his outlook, and he made multiple visits, reflecting his enduring connection to the region. His friendship with Father Damien on Molokai inspired him to write The Lepers of Molokai, which helped elevate Damien's public esteem. Stoddard converted to Catholicism in 1867 and held academic positions at the University of Notre Dame and the Catholic University of America. Illness and personal challenges shaped his later years, during which he focused on literary work until his death on April 23, 1909, in Monterey, California.
