Giới thiệu tác giả
Andrew Lang (1844-1912) was a Scottish writer, poet, and literary critic, renowned for his prolific work in various domains including folklore, anthropology, and classical scholarship. His erudition and narrative craft are prominently displayed in 'Adventures Among Books' (1905), a collection of essays that delve into his experiences and reflections on literature. Lang's fascination with fairy tales and myths underpinned his editorial and translating endeavors, leading to the acclaimed 'Fairy Books' series – a colorful array of fairy tale compilations named after the hues of their covers, starting with 'The Blue Fairy Book' (1889). His literary style combined the rigour of a scholar with the accessibility of a storyteller, marrying his academic interests with a passion for the fantastical and the romantic. As a critic, Lang's incisive analyses of historical texts and his contemporaries showcased his extensive knowledge and his belief in the power of literature to transcend time and culture. Often leveraging his wry sense of humor, Lang's works appealed to both the young and the learned, and his legacy persists in the ongoing study of folklore and the enduring popularity of his collections.
