Autorenporträt

Charles George Douglas Roberts, commonly known as Charles G. D. Roberts (1860-1943), was a distinguished Canadian poet and prose writer, often referred to as the 'Father of Canadian Poetry'. A pioneer of Canadian literature, Roberts was born on January 10, 1860, in Douglas, New Brunswick. He was part of the Confederation Poets, a group that played a key role in the development of Canadian poetry in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Roberts attended the University of New Brunswick, where he nurtured his literary talents, penning both poetry and prose with a particular interest in the natural world and Canadian wilderness. In his landmark work, 'In the Morning of Time' (1919), Roberts exhibits his narrative prowess in an epic tale that delves into the prehistoric past, combining both romantic and naturalist elements to explore humanity's primal instincts and their intertwining with the environment. Roberts's literary style is characterized by vivid imagery, emotional depth, and a deep respect for nature, a hallmark of his works. His contributions to Canadian literature extended beyond his writings, as he also served as an educator and editor. Roberts's legacy is not only his extensive bibliography but also his influence in shaping the cultural identity of Canada through the written word. He was knighted in 1935 and passed away on November 26, 1943, but his literary works continue to be celebrated for their embodiment of the Canadian spirit and their pioneering role in establishing a distinct national literature.
