Autorenporträt

George Manville Fenn (1831.1909), the biographer behind this pivotal Victorian biography, was himself a towering figure in 19th century authors' circles. A self-educated printer's son who rose to edit Cassell's Magazine, Fenn wrote over 170 books, specializing in boys' adventure writers traditions he shared with Henty. His diverse career spanning teaching, journalism, and pioneering science fiction (The Rosery Folk) gave him unique insight into Henty's creative world. Like his subject, Fenn mastered the art of blending factual precision with narrative drive, seen in his historical novels like Crown and Sceptre. The literary biography benefits from their personal friendship; Fenn draws on private correspondence to reveal Henty's work habits and debates with publishers. Fenn's final work before his 1909 death, this biography stands as both tribute and critical study by a peer who understood the challenges of satisfying both young readers and the British novelists' establishment. Modern scholars value it for preserving publishing practices and readership trends of the Edwardian era.
