Autoren-Porträt von Talbot Baines Reed
Talbot Baines Reed (1852-1893), the son of Sir Charles Reed, was a British writer, best known for his influential boys' school stories. He followed in his father's footsteps in both the printing business and in a passion for literature. Reed's career as an author began in the pages of 'The Boy's Own Paper', a periodical for young readers which was a fertile ground for his serialized tales of school life. Unlike his peers in the genre, Reed's writings stood out for their emphasis on character development and moral dilemmas rather than mere adventure. 'Parkhurst Boys, and Other Stories of School Life' is a quintessential example of his narrative style, blending incidents of playground heroics with poignant personal growth and social commentary. Reed's books have been noted for the realistic portrayal of boys and the boarding school environment, reflecting the virtues and vices of adolescence. His characters often grapple with trials such as bullying, honor, friendship, and the pressures of academic expectation. This authentic approach gained him a reputation for instilling moral lessons without didacticism, a feat that marked his work as notable in the canon of Victorian children's literature. Unfortunately, Reed's life was cut short by illness at the age of 41, yet within his short career, he secured a legacy that shaped the genre of school stories for generations.
