Sobre l'autor
Edward Payson Roe (1838–1888) was an American novelist, known for his works of fiction that combined pastoral American landscapes with moral Christian themes. Born in Moodna, Orange County, New York, Roe was initially drawn to ministry and served as a chaplain in the Union Army during the American Civil War. The war's profound impact on him is evident through his writing, which often reflected the reconciliation and human connection in postbellum America. Following his military service, Roe took up pastoral work before embarking on a full-time literary career. His novel 'Barriers Burned Away' (1872) emerged as one of his most well-received works, depicting the Great Chicago Fire's aftermath and highlighting the themes of love, loss, and the indomitable human spirit. Its vivid narrative and emotional depth resonated with readers, establishing Roe as a significant figure in 19th-century American literature. Through his writing, Roe did not shy away from exploring social issues of his time, weaving them seamlessly with his trademark descriptive landscapes. A prolific author, Roe wrote numerous other works, including 'The Opening of a Chestnut Burr' and 'Near to Nature's Heart', which further illustrate his unique blending of storytelling with the pastoral and spiritual. Roe's literary style made him a household name in his day, and his works continue to be a subject of study for enthusiasts of historical and religious fiction.
