作者简介

Sabine Baring-Gould (1834–1924) was a prolific English writer, antiquarian, folklorist, and scholar whose literary achievements spanned numerous genres and subjects. Born into a well-to-do family, Baring-Gould cultivated a broad range of interests throughout his life, which were reflected in his vast output of over 1,200 publications. His work comprises novels, hymnody, theology, and folklore, showcasing a remarkable intellect and a deep passion for history and culture. Noteworthy is his book 'Eve,' which illustrates his narrative prowess and eye for character development. Baring-Gould's literary style generally conjures up a Victorian ethos, marked by a blend of the gothic and the romantic, infused with a strong sense of moral earnestness. His most enduring legacy perhaps lies in his hymns, with 'Onward, Christian Soldiers' and 'Now the Day Is Over' remaining popular to this day. A man of devout faith, he was also an Anglican priest, serving as a rector in Devon, where he devoted much of his religious and folklore scholarship. In his exploration of traditional beliefs and customs, he sought to preserve knowledge at risk of being lost to time, resulting in seminal works like the sixteen-volume series 'The Lives of the Saints.' Baring-Gould's interdisciplinary approach combined rigorous scholarly methods with an accessible storytelling style, contributing to the preservation and celebration of English culture and heritage.
