Autorenporträt
James Runciman was an English teacher, author, and journalist born in August 1852 in Cresswell, a village near Morpeth in Northumberland. He was the son of Walter Runciman, a coastguardman, and Jean Finlay. Runciman's early life in the coastal village influenced much of his writing, with a particular focus on the lives and struggles of working-class individuals. His career included teaching, writing for newspapers, and authoring books, with a sharp insight into social issues and human nature. Runciman's works often addressed themes of class, labor, and the challenges faced by ordinary people. He was known for his thought-provoking essays and critiques of society, and his work earned him a significant reputation during his time. Tragically, he died young at the age of 38 on July 6, 1891, in Kingston upon Thames. Despite his early passing, his contributions to English literature and social commentary continue to resonate, offering valuable perspectives on the struggles and complexities of life.
