Autorenporträt
Ridgwell Cullum, born Sidney Groves Burghard in 1867, was a British author of adventure fiction, predominantly set within the American Wild West, depicting the rugged frontier landscape as a backdrop for his tales of heroism, struggle, and determination. Although relatively obscure today, Cullum was prolific in the early 20th century, with 'The Triumph of John Kars' as a notable work in his Western canon. This novel showcased his literary style, often characterized by a sweeping narrative, vivid descriptions, and moral complexity. Cullum's storytelling was propelled by an understanding of the human psyche and its endurance against formidable odds, a theme prevalent throughout his bibliography. This was a style that resonated well with his readers who sought escapism and adventure during an era of great social and technological change. After migrating to the United States in the 1890s, Cullum's lifelong experiences and observations of the New World helped to authenticate the spirit of frontier life that seeped into his writing. Despite falling into the shadow of his contemporaries and subsequently fading from popular literary discourse, his work remains a testament to a genre that shaped the mythos of the American West. The breadth of Cullum's work, which includes over 30 novels, continues to be studied for its contribution to early 20th-century Western literature (Kaye, 2005).
