Edward Garnett

    Edward Garnett fu uno scrittore, critico ed editore letterario inglese, distinto per il suo acume e la sua vasta conoscenza della letteratura contemporanea. Nonostante la sua limitata istruzione formale, perseguì un'ampia autoformazione attraverso un'intensa lettura. La sua influenza, esercitata attraverso l'incoraggiamento e il sostegno a autori di spicco, superò di gran lunga la sua stessa produzione scritta. Garnett svolse un ruolo cruciale nello scoprire e promuovere talenti letterari, sebbene le sue decisioni editoriali non fossero sempre perfette. La sua vasta rete lo collegò con figure influenti di diverse nazionalità e campi artistici.
