Autorenporträt
Charles Macomb Flandrau (1871-1938) was an American author and essayist whose literary contributions were most notable in the early part of the 20th century. Born into a wealthy family, Flandrau had the privilege of a refined education, which later found expression in his writings. He is perhaps best known for his book 'The Diary of a Freshman' (1901), a work that offers a humorous and insightful glimpse into college life at the turn of the century. The narrative captures the quintessential coming-of-age story through the lens of a young man's first year at University, richly imbued with the zeitgeist of the period. Flandrau's prose is characterized by its wit, charm, and an underlying sharpness that conveys his keen observations of social mores and human nature. His work stands as an important document of its time, offering not just entertainment but also sociological insight into the milieu of American collegiate experience. While Flandrau's body of work may not be as widely recognized today, 'The Diary of a Freshman' remains a significant contribution to American letters and a testament to his literary talent.
