Autorenporträt
Basil King (1859-1928) was a Canadian clergyman who transitioned from religious service to become a prominent novelist and influential figure in early 20th-century literature. His exploration into the world of fiction was sparked by a loss of sight that led him to retire from the ministry and devote himself to writing. King's work is often characterized by its exploration of moral and philosophical issues, blending his religious background with a rich psychological insight. Notable among King's literary contributions is 'The Inner Shrine' (1909), a novel which established him as a major writer of his time. 'The High Heart' (1917), another significant work by King, exemplifies King's adeptness at delving into themes of character development and the moral dilemmas faced by individuals. His novels were celebrated for their character-driven narratives and King's ability to craft stories that were both engaging and thought-provoking. Though less well-known today, Basil King's works offer a unique window into the societal changes and moral questions that were at the forefront of the early 20th century Western mind. His literary style bridges the transition between Victorian and modernist sensibilities, marking him as a noteworthy figure in the literary canon of his era.
