Autorenporträt
Allen Upward (1863-1926) was a British author, barrister, poet, and politician known for his wide-ranging contributions to literature and intellectual thought. Born in County Cork, Ireland, Upward was educated at prestigious institutions and eventually pursued a career in law, becoming a barrister. His legal background significantly influenced his writings, particularly in his legal dramas and court-based novels such as The Queen Against Owen, where he explored the intricacies of the British legal system and the moral dilemmas that arise within it. Upward's literary output was diverse, covering various genres including mystery, political satire, and social critique. He was known for weaving legal intrigue with social commentary, often critiquing the rigid structures of Victorian society. Alongside his fiction, Upward wrote philosophical essays and poetry, showcasing his intellectual depth. One of his most well-known works, The New Word, coined the term "scientifiction" long before the term "science fiction" was popularized. Though his literary career was somewhat overshadowed by more famous contemporaries, Allen Upward's unique voice and fearless exploration of legal, social, and intellectual themes have earned him recognition as an innovative and thoughtful author in British literature. His works continue to intrigue readers interested in law, justice, and societal issues.
