Autorenporträt

Alexander C. Irvine was born on January 19, 1863, in Antrim, United Kingdom, to parents who raised him within a working-class Irish Protestant community. His early life in Northern Ireland, marked by poverty and religious complexity, deeply influenced his later writing. As a young man, he emigrated to the United States, where he pursued various occupations, including working in shipyards and as a street preacher, before eventually attending theological school. Irvine became a Congregational minister and combined his spiritual calling with a deep interest in social justice, serving in communities where he advocated for the poor and marginalized. His experiences shaped his literary voice, leading him to author novels and autobiographical works that highlighted the struggles and resilience of ordinary people. One of his most enduring works, My Lady of the Chimney Corner, drew from his own upbringing and paid tribute to the quiet strength of Irish matriarchs. Irvine later moved to California, where he spent his final years. He passed away in 1941 in Hollywood, Los Angeles, leaving behind a legacy of socially conscious writing grounded in personal and communal memory.
