Edward Garnett

    Edward Garnett war ein englischer Schriftsteller, Kritiker und Literaturredakteur, der sich durch scharfen Verstand und umfassende Kenntnis der zeitgenössischen Literatur auszeichnete. Trotz seiner kurzen formalen Ausbildung bildete er sich durch ausgiebiges Lesen autodidaktisch weiter. Sein Einfluss durch die Förderung und Ermutigung führender Autoren übertraf seine eigene schriftstellerische Tätigkeit bei weitem. Garnett machte sich um die Entdeckung und Unterstützung von Talenten verdient, auch wenn er gelegentlich Fehlentscheidungen traf. Seine weitreichenden literarischen Kontakte umfassten Persönlichkeiten aus verschiedenen Ländern und künstlerischen Strömungen.
