Autorenporträt
Charles Dudley Warner was an American essayist, novelist, and prominent figure in 19th-century American literature. Born in Plainfield, Massachusetts, in 1829, he was known for his keen insights into American society and his satirical style. Warner's friendship with Mark Twain led to the collaboration on The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today, a novel that critiqued the corruption and excess of post-Civil War America, particularly its political and economic systems. Warner's literary contributions extended beyond novels, including essays, articles, and compilations, with works like Library of the World's Best Literature showcasing his broader literary expertise. Throughout his career, he focused on societal issues, using wit and humor to address them. Warner's writing resonated with readers for its accessibility and sharp commentary on the issues of his time. He passed away in 1900 at the age of 71 in Hartford, Connecticut, leaving behind a legacy as a significant voice in American literature and a keen observer of the complexities of American life. His work continues to be valued for its insightful social critiques and the literary friendships that shaped it. Warner's influence remains evident in the ongoing study of American realism and its exploration of cultural and political life.
