Autorenporträt
Reverend Edmund Bartell (1759-1829) was an esteemed English clergyman known for his erudite contributions to the topographical literature of his era. With a passionate interest in natural history and scenic beauties, Bartell penned 'Observations upon the Town of Cromer', a detailed account of the town located on the north coast of Norfolk, England. His work, while focusing on a specific locality, reflects a broader literary style of the 18th and early 19th centuries that combines elements of travelogues, historical recounting, and descriptions of natural environments. Bartell's observational skills and descriptive prowess shine through the pages of his writing, mirroring the inquisitive spirit of the Enlightenment. Although his literary output was not prolific, his contribution to the genre of topography holds significance for both historical and environmental studies, offering insights into the landscape and society of Cromer during this time period. His writing exhibits an early form of environmental appreciation coupled with an emphasis on historical and sociological narratives, which scholars and enthusiasts of regional histories and landscape studies continue to find valuable.
