Autorenporträt

Charles Dudley Warner was an American author and friend of Mark Twain. He was born September 12, 1829, and died October 20, 1900. Warner wrote essays and novels and co-wrote The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today with Twain. Warner was raised by Puritans and was born in Plainfield, Massachusetts. He lived in Charlemont, Massachusetts, from the age of six to fourteen. He wrote about this time and place in his book Being a Boy (1877). Following that, he went to Cazenovia, New York. In 1851, he graduated from Hamilton College in Clinton, New York. He worked as a surveyor in Missouri and then went to the University of Pennsylvania to study law. From 1856 to 1860, he worked as a lawyer in Chicago. In 1860, he went to Connecticut to become an assistant editor at The Hartford Press. He became editor of the paper in 1861 and stayed in that job until 1867, when it joined with another paper to become The Hartford Courant. At that time, he became co-editor with Joseph R. Hawley. As of 1892, he was in charge of The Editor's Study at Harper's Magazine, where he had been in charge of The Editor's Drawer since 1884.
