Autorenporträt
Allen Upward, geboren 1863 in Sussex, England, war ein bedeutender englischer Schriftsteller und Philologe des späten 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhunderts. Bekannt für seine Vielseitigkeit und Originalität, schrieb Upward in verschiedenen Genres, darunter Romane, Gedichte und politische Essays. Sein wichtigstes Werk "The New Word" von 1910 war eine radikale Neuerung in der Welt der Literatur und prägte die Entwicklung des modernen Fantasieromans. In diesem Werk entwickelte Upward eine komplexe philosophische und linguistische Theorie, die die Grenzen zwischen Realität und Fantasie verschwimmen ließ und die Möglichkeiten der menschlichen Vorstellungskraft erforschte. Upwards literarisches Schaffen überspannte verschiedene Themen und Genres, von politischer Satire bis hin zu mystischer Spekulation. Seine Werke hinterlassen ein Erbe von Innovation und Originalität in der englischen Literatur und haben bis heute Einfluss auf die literarische Landschaft.
