Autorenporträt
Arlo Bates was born on 16 December 1850 in East Machias, Maine. A graduate of Bowdoin College in 1876, he became a notable American author, educator, and newspaperman. In 1880, Bates took on the role of editor for the Boston Sunday Courier, a position he held for over a decade until 1893. Following his work in journalism, he transitioned into academia, becoming a professor of English at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he significantly influenced literary education. His contributions to literature spanned fiction, poetry, and criticism. Bates was known for his thoughtful prose and poetic sensibilities, with works such as The Pagans, The Philistines, and Love in a Cloud reflecting his interest in cultural and philosophical questions. He also produced several poetry collections, including Berries of the Brier and Sonnets in Shadow, and authored critical essays like Talks on Writing English. In 1900, he was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Bates passed away on 25 August 1918 in Boston, leaving behind a legacy as both a literary figure and educator.
