Autoren-Porträt von Owen Johnson

Owen Johnson (1878-1952) was an American author best known for his collegiate tales, which deftly captured the social dynamics and character types prevalent in the early 20th century Ivy League settings. Born in New York City and an alumnus of Yale, Johnson's narratives often leverage his own experiences within the academic elite. His book 'Stover at Yale' (1912) remains his most celebrated work, portraying the story of Dink Stover, a protagonist who grapples with the moral and social challenges in the hallowed halls of Yale University. Johnson's fluent prose is noted for its satirical edge and penetrating insights into student life and campus politics; his works often touch upon themes of individuality, integrity, and societal expectations. Johson's literary style combines realism with a touch of romantic idealism, making his characters resonate with the struggles of young adulthood. Apart from Stover, Johnson created a rich body of literature that includes novels, short stories, and contributions to periodicals, capturing the flavor of an era and influencing the genre of college-themed narratives.
