Quelques mots sur l'auteur
Sabine Baring-Gould (1834–1924) was a prolific English hagiographer, antiquarian, novelist, and eclectic scholar. His literary career spanned several genres and topics, an embodiment of Victorian curiosity and erudition. Born into an affluent family, Baring-Gould initially pursued ecclesiastical studies, eventually serving as a rector in Lew Trenchard, Devon. His scholarly interests were vast, covering theology, folklore, history, and travel. Baring-Gould's deep affection for local history and customs is evident in his regional works, including 'Cornwall: Its Mines and Miners' (1865), where he delves into the rich mining heritage and geological wonders of the county, offering insights into the lives of Cornish miners and the natural environment that shaped their livelihoods (Baring-Gould, 1865). Acclaimed for his literary style, he adeptly married meticulous research with a narrative flair that engaged both academics and general readers. His output encompassed over 1,200 publications, ranging from the enduringly popular 'The Book of Were-Wolves' (1865) to his widely-read series of digests on the lives of saints. Baring-Gould was also a noted folk song collector and composer, with 'Onward, Christian Soldiers' perhaps his most famous contribution. His expansive body of work continues to be of interest to those studying Victorian literature, regional English cultures, and ecclesiastical history.
