Autorenporträt
Victor Rousseau Emanuel, born Avigdor Rousseau Emanuel in January 1879 was a versatile writer known for his wide-ranging contributions to early 20th-century literature. Educated at Harrow School and briefly at Balliol College, Oxford, he left England for South Africa, where he worked as a journalist and briefly served in military units during the Boer War. After returning to London, he published his first novel, a satirical account of military life, and used the proceeds to move to New York City in 1901. His second novel, based on classical rebellion, was rejected for weak characterization. He also contributed to the Jewish Encyclopedia. Emanuel published under several pseudonyms, most notably Victor Rousseau, H. M. Egbert, V. R. Emanuel, and Lew Merrill the latter used for more risqu material. He wrote science fiction, pulp stories, newspaper serials, and novels, becoming especially active in pulp magazines by the 1930s, at which point he began using his real name for most of his work. Though not widely celebrated, his prolific output helped define genres in popular fiction. He died on April 6, 1960, in Tarrytown, New York.
