Autorenporträt
Richard Harding Davis (1864-1916) was an influential American journalist and writer of fiction and drama, known for his vivid reporting as well as the adventure and romance that animated his narrative style. His illustrious career saw him serving as a correspondent during significant historical events, such as the Spanish-American War, which not only enriched his journalism but also informed his literary works. 'The Log of the "Jolly Polly"' is an example of Davis's storytelling prowess, showcasing his ability to synthesize his affection for adventure with his sharp observations of human character and society. Davis's early works include 'Gallegher and Other Stories' (1891) and the novel 'Soldiers of Fortune' (1897), which further cemented his reputation for crafting compelling narratives. His writing is characterized by a clear, succinct style that makes extensive use of dialogue to drive plot and character development, typified by a romanticization of the individual against larger societal forces. Davis's contributions to the American literary canon and journalism have made him a recognized figure in the literary and historical annals of the United States. His works continue to be studied for their reflection of the zeitgeist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and for their storytelling craft.
