Autorenporträt
Edward Carpenter (1844-1929) was a prominent English socialist poet, philosopher, and early advocate for LGBT rights. He was a key figure in the late 19th and early 20th century socialist movement in Britain and is best known for his writings on social reform, spirituality, and human rights. His notable works are Towards Democracy (1883): A poetic work that reflects Carpenter's hilosophical and spiritual beliefs. "The Intermediate Sex" (1908): One of the earliest works advocating for the acceptance and understanding of homosexuality. " Civilisation: Its Cause and Cure" (1889): An exploration of the ills of industrial civilization and the potential for a more harmonious social order. "Pagan & Christian Creeds: Their Origin and Meaning" (1920): An analysis of the similarities between pagan and Christian religious practices and beliefs. Carpenter's advocacy for social reform and human rights influenced a wide range of social movements, including the labor movement, the feminist movement, and the LGBT rights movement. Carpenter lived with George Merrill from the 1890s until Merrill's death in 1928, a relationship that was openly acknowledged and celebrated in his social circle. Edward Carpenter's life and work left a lasting impact on social thought and progressive movements in Britain and beyond, making him a significant figure in the history of social reform and human rights advocacy.
