Autorenporträt
Henry William Herbert, known by his pen name Frank Forester, was an English-born American writer, born on April 7, 1807, in London, England. A multifaceted figure, Herbert made his mark as a novelist, poet, historian, illustrator, and journalist, particularly in the field of sports. He was also highly regarded as a classical scholar, with some contemporary commentators noting his exceptional scholarly abilities in the United States. Herbert immigrated to America in the early 19th century and became well-known for his writings on hunting, fishing, and sports, often blending these themes with a love for the outdoors in his works. Herbert's novels and poetry were influential during his time, but he is perhaps most remembered for his historical works and contributions to the development of American literature. His works often portrayed the lives of ordinary people and addressed social issues, blending both intellectual depth and popular appeal. His legacy continues through his works, which reflect both his literary talent and his deep knowledge of American culture and history.
