Autoren-Porträt von George Sturt
George Sturt (1863-1927), an English writer and diarist, was notably rooted in the pastoral traditions and the rural landscapes of England. Born in Farnham, Surrey, he was deeply moved by the changing rural society at the turn of the 20th century. Sturt's literary contributions are permeated by a fascination with the rustic life and the experiences of the working class, a theme elegantly explored in his acclaimed work 'Memoirs of a Surrey Labourer: A Record of the Last Years of Frederick Bettesworth' (1907). The book is an exemplary piece of his literary style, where Sturt not only chronicled the life of the eponymous Surrey peon, Frederick Bettesworth, but also passionately depicted the challenges faced by agricultural workers during the advent of industrialization. His scholarly narrative is both a compassionate portrayal of an individual's life and a critical eye on the social transformations that threatened the bucolic existence of Surrey's laborers. Sturt's writing is marked by insightful observations, a narrative style that blends realism with a sense of nostalgia, and an unwavering commitment to valorizing the lives of common people against the backdrop of rapid societal changes. Beyond the memoir, Sturt authored several other books capturing the essence of rural life, endearing him to readers who found solace and truth in his depiction of a world that was quickly vanishing.
