Autoren-Porträt von Leslie Stephen
Leslie Stephen (1832-1904) was an eminent English author, critic, and historian, best known for his contributions to the study of English literature and for his work as a biographer. An influential figure in the intellectual circles of his time, Stephen was the father of renowned writer Virginia Woolf and painter Vanessa Bell. His seminal work, 'English Literature and Society in the Eighteenth Century,' delves into the cultural and societal dynamics of the 1700s, reflecting his analytical acumen and his ability to contextualize literary movements within their historical framework. Stephen's scholarly pursuits extended beyond literature; he was also the first editor of the 'Dictionary of National Biography,' where he laid the foundation for what would become a crucial reference for biographical studies in the English-speaking world. Trained as a clergyman, Stephen eventually turned to literature and philosophy, contributing essays to various periodicals, including the 'Cornhill Magazine'. His literary style is distinguished by its clear, precise prose and his rationalist perspective, characteristics that have helped cement his status as a pivotal figure in Victorian literature and thought. Among his other highly regarded works include 'Hours in a Library' and 'History of English Thought in the Eighteenth Century,' both of which underpin his status as a scholar of remarkable breadth and depth. Stephen's intellectual legacy, including his critical examination of ethics, religion, and literature, continues to resonate within academic circles and beyond.
